Looks like my pictures taken early 2004, 2 days after delivery. I had a # of postings on the Open Roads /RV.net forum. I can no longer find them, I think the site had a problem & lost a bunch of info. Anyway, I found this in my private messages between myself & another "crack victom" .

No further problems. They REPLACED my sidewall at the factory. As I was worried about future problems, I have in writing any further problems with EITHER sidewall will be covered for life, (mine)as long as I own the coach. While at factory I saw another Vectra 40AD where the same crack was repaired THREE times in a week +, each time the next day the crack returned. Owners were going to bring coach back after the big WIT rally & have sidewall replaced. Trade for new coach was not an option as none w/ same color & options were available. Also all coaches made after Jan 2004 would have the new ISL Cummins eng to meet smog reg. More things to go wrong & a lot more $$$. I will be adding the Banks Eng Power Pack to mine at year end. More power & torque the the new engine & less $$$.
Winnebago did okay by me & at this time I would buy again in the future.

Subject: Your Sidewall Crack in RV NET
I just came across the posts in RV.NET ref your wall crack. I am curious to find out if there been any further problems? I have an 02 Journey 39QD with the same problem. Mine cracked after I had the coach 6 months we bought it new. Winnie fixed it twice. Its been nearly 2 yrs, so far its ok they gave me a letter stating that as long as I own the coach they would fix it if it comes back. I contemplated going to a lawyer when it was first observed but I opted to let Winnie try to make good on it. Numerous people told me to ask for a new coach but its easier said than done.
