Thank you so so much for doing these videos my RVer friend. If I want water or moisture when out camping I can use my tent, NOT when you finally have the money 💰 to buy a very expensive Home to stay in camper. I do see this ROOF issue with WATER throughout the industry. The ROOFS and windows have to be sealed better........... And don't make big DAMS with calking to make a puddle for water to sit on the roof.

Sound like the dealership is not passing the buck. I bet they get it right soon. We had similar issues with our nexus super c. Traded it back in after only six weeks took a huge loss.

Hi Liz, please let this couple know that this leaking could (most likely will) cause a major health issues with mold growing behind the walls/under the floors/ceiling/storage compartments. This couple needs to look into "mold & rv's issues", "mold symptoms" and most important "mold toxicant healthy issues". You can become extremly extremely sick being exposed to mold. And Rv's are notorious for mold issues even without a leaking roof. This camper is a lemon 🍋 Great reporting Liz!!! Another excellent video. I wish this couple all the best trying to resolve this nighmare.

To Steve Ludwig -- what Peter is saying makes good sense... shop for an older one, 20-30 years old, at a very low price. Most RVs aren't used much, and have low mileage with a lot of life left in engine and transmission. Of course there will be a few problems -- you are basically bouncing a small house along at 60 mph -- but nothing too bad. The joy of the open road with a simple older rig more than offsets the cost!

@sewistnotsewer, my brother and sister-in-law purchased a brand-new Winnebago Adventurer Class A and had leaks in and around the front cap/windshield area that the dealer couldn't fix and Winnebago said since they didn't make the chassis, it wasn't their responsibility. My brother took it to a Ford dealer who worked on heavy-duty Ford chassis, and they sealed around the clearance lights at the top of the cap and had the windshield replaced with all-new seals. That took care of the issue. A few years ago when my wife and I were looking to upgrade our travel trailer, the dealer had a bunch of Winnebago travel trailers on their lot they were trying to get us to look at but we just said NOPE! Won't do Winnebago anything after what my brother went through with theirs.

Won't work. There are very specific rules to forming a proper class for Rule 23 litigation in the United States. Part of the requirement is all similarly situated class members need to have suffered similar injury, and seek similar damages. And this inquiry is *very* specific. Given the wide range of problems with RVs, motorhomes, trailers, minivans, as well as the markedly different damages, you will never, ever, ever get a class certified in the United States. Absolutely dead on arrival in any jurisdiction anywhere in the U.S.

Question,since schwintec slides are the number one RV issue (huge problem) and are knowing still installed by RV manufacturing knowing they will fail ,this is not good enough for one class action? And this is just one item that is causing untold misery to a majority of RV owners.

@@Toxic-Male It could be. If you can identify a single *design* or *manufacturing* defect that affects *most* or *all* units in a brand, or across all brands, *and* your class is within the warranty period, then maybe you could certify that class. But it better not be an installation defect, because that gets into individualized issues. It's actually very hard now to certify class actions in the U.S. But you've heard of a few successful ones. For example, the Volkswagen fraudulent fuel/pollution defect, where VW messed with the software across all vehicles to report false figures, that one was successful. Or a few years ago, the Kia/Hyundai engine failure class action, that engine was defectively designed and affected all vehicles. Need specific facts of a true design or manufacturing defect affecting many units, as well as measurable damages.

@@djsi38t I have to disagree with you about the drying mold issue. Stachyboytris "black" mold does not need a wet environment to grow (as well as many other types of mold), even though it loves moisture and flourishes into giant, smelly, inches thick mats when it has a water supply, it still grows and spreads in dry conditions too. I had a hail damaged roof that leaked and dried, leaked and dried. Our insurance company said there was no hail damage. We had children and pets getting sick constantly with allergies, skin rashes, sinus infections, bronchitis, etc... Then we found out we had black mold in our walls, insulation, and air ducts. There were no rain events in our walls, but it got there from when the rain had intruded from the storm damaged roof. It was a couple years after the bad storm that we found the living, growing, and spreading mold in a humidity and environment controlled (AC and heat) house that had to be gutted and rebuilt. It was actually recommended that we knock down the house and build a new one. That was not possible for us so it was gutted. I can only believe that the RV should be gutted to the frame and rebuilt before the threat of mold is gone.

This is a good service you're providing to highlight these horror stories. It underscores my belief: buy used. Older quality RVs might not have all the bells and whistles (more things to go wrong) of a new one, but RVs built in the last 5 years are very problematic. I have a 2002 Born Free, a high quality coach. It had 30,000 miles on it when I bought and I've put 25,000 miles on it with zero problems (other than rodents getting in the generator). Zero. If you're buying an RV to travel and have fun does it really matter if there's minor wear and tear? You make it your own.

I bought a brand new 2015 Jayco Precept 29UM when the company was still family owned before Thor bought them. It has been as close to flawless as I could’ve ever hoped. I think that was because it was built by a family owned Company with some pride in what they were building. I agree, I would not buy any RV built in the past five years. The C-suite administrators are building these things now and this is what we get.

I think in today’s market you better go into the RV world with an inspector, and a lawyer to inspect the contract. Steve Lehto on KZfaq did several videos on how NOT TO BUY S NEW RV!!! He’s a lawyer. The contract has disclaimers to keep the consumer from suing the dealer. You CAN sue the manufacturer but the contract says you must SUE IN THE STATE OF INDIANA. There the laws are skewed in the favor of the manufacturers. A good lawyer is $300 an hour. Your time and money is worth A LOT MORE!!!. So listen to Liz and also get a lawyer to inspect your contract BEFORE signing!! This industry is completely out of control. They need to have their noses put to the Grindstone. People paying a half million dollars for a money pit is ridiculous!!

Congratulations on the 100,000 mark. I’m finding across the internet it seems that there is a large number of units and brands across A,B, C class , Fifthwheel or trailer that are having quality issues. I’m tired of hearing the excuses of Covid and suppliers. These are engineering issues and lack of a quality audit being in place during the build. All of these ratings like ISO compliancy mean nothing if they aren’t applied and followed and in some cases workers or supervisors say go ahead with the job and we’ll catch it later. The inspection of new units at the dealership is get glazed over or not done at all. Brands do a great job until they get notoriety and then start cutting corners to say money on what got them where they are. It’s really said.

The dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with ABS issues. It finally went into limp mode. Most Mercedes dealers will not service RV’s. This was in September. We found a dealer and they could not get us in until December. We also found out it was a recall issue. We finally got it out of limp mode and returned to our home in Michigan cutting our vacation short. There are only 2 dealers in Michigan that will service Mercedes RV’s. It was October before they could get it in. If we had been out west or some remote place, who knows what would happened. We promptly sold the Rv and purchase an airstream trailer.

Hi J & A! Yes, you are wise to hold onto what you know, especially if you are happy with the build quality. Thanks for watching, and for checking in!

This is all too depressing. I don’t think that I will ever be willing to buy a new RV when the time comes for me to hit the road.

Wow, so many problems. Some friends of ours bought a used mini-winnie around 20 tears ago and had no problems for about a year, then everything that could go wrong went wrong. They found out that the repairs were going to cost more than what they paid for it. Parked it next to their home in Idaho and when the home caught fire the winnie burned up too. Unfortunately they also died in the fire, since it happened while they were sleeping.

Just so happens, a KZfaq creator, Steve Lehto, a lawyer who once specialized in lemon laws, has an old but still relevant video called "Don't Buy A RV" and other RV videos on warranty. These problems have existed for years. You ought to push for Rent A RV Instead of Buy. Cheers Liz.

Dealing with the same thing with the aftermath of an improperly sealed replacement windshield by Safelite. Water got behind the dashboard in my Toyotoa Corolla and now it's an electrical nightmare. Safelite is beyond slow to respond so it's nice to hear that @ least Winnebago and the dealer are working with you. Hang in there!!

Maybe cover that thing in high glycerine soap and water solution and blast high volumes of air into the sealed cabin and watch for bubbles maybe? It's a lot of work to set up but you'll find your leaks pretty quickly... In a passenger vehicle we do that all the time by just running the car and using its own HVAC fan, but in an RV you'll need to rig up an auxillary fan to compensate for the large cubic foot volume.

There is a leaktest machine, surprised this dealership doesn't use one. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the update.

Congratulations on the 100K, and well deserved. I have to commend Crowlry Auto Group, for sticking with it. But It's a Winnebago problem, and for Winnebago Director of Customer Support Dean Casad to say if water intrusion is ok, and it's designed into it can withstand some water, is absurd and almost laughable. It's not a watercraft nor is it built like one. Mr Casad might take a course in electronics 101, water and electrical components don't mix. Now it's a real problem on the chassis side MB might not cover the water damage due to Winnebago's poor quality and workmanship. All the best for Dave and Hildy.

The electronics are shielded from minor water intrusion.I think it;s good that they are designed to handle some water intrusion...I don't know why you wouldn't,this is a good thing....better than saying well its inside so dont worry about moisture possibly getting to a vital component..

@thecasualrver 8 ай бұрын

@@djsi38t I just retire from 30 years of automotive product development durability testing/engineering. Engine compartment electronics, modules, connectors are designed to keep water out, they are not engineered or designed for water intrusion. Interior electronics, modules and components are not engineered or designed for any of any type of water intrusion. The wire harness and connectors are not sealed and will not keep water from getting into the components.

Thank you very much @thecasualrver for your comment. I agree. Also mold, rust, wood rot. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Casad got called on the carpet for what he wrote. Thanks for watching and stay tuned.

Mine is a C-Class Jayco 34’ on a 2018 Ford 450 Super Duty chassis with 45K miles. It’s been great in every manner. Greatest fear is WATER intrusion, which I have not had. Once any of these get “wet”…they are toast-MOLD cannot be stopped! Aside, 5 dogs, that is nuts!

I love what you are doing. This really puts the spotlight on dealers and manufacturers. I love how you're getting all sides of the story and trying to be as neutral as possible. Without this, it would be so much easier to ignore people who purchased lemons, but with videos like this, you really push them to ensure companies who claim customer satisfaction is a top priority really are a top priority. Thank you so much for the work you do it benefits the entire RV community.

Make sure you hire a mold company and have them test that rv before you even take it out. Mold starts in less than 24 hours. Sealing is not going to stop mold and if you stay to long you will be sick.

I agree, Jack. But Liz has found a new need for communication. Giving victims of extremely low quality and zero care from the selling industry about it, a place to share their stories of woe. But in my opinion the next step has to start soon. I've detailed it a couple days ago but only one person says I'm on the mark. I would stake MY LIFE I'm on the right track with my idea and it must come about eventually, why wait. Liz of course wants to retire and not be the head behind such an alliance but she certainly has the well established venue to get the ball rolling.
