is this typical for a new Winnebago/RV?

[lgudema]

My wife and I spent last year trying out a few different RVs, and last November bought a Micro Minnie FLX. We couldn't use it through the winter, since it's a three-season RV, but since April we've used it on several trips for about three dozen days.

We have experienced a steady stream of problems, minor and major. We read that typical RV problems are with the tires, windows, and roof, but only one of ours was with those. It seems like we can't go out without a significant problem or, as this past weekend, three. Our plan is to do a 12-month/nationwide trip starting in September, 2024, but I don't have confidence that we could go on that trip which at times would take us hundreds of miles from a dealer/RV repair shop.

- The first few days the battery stopped in the middle of the night, although not much was running and it had plenty of charge. If we hit the On button, it would restart and then work fine. After a few days, it mostly stopped doing it, although a few weeks later it happened in the middle of the afternoon.

- The roof leaked around the AC unit on rainy days, and the dealer fixed that.

- The back inside of the GE fridge freezes and builds up a quarter inch or so of frost on hot/humid days. It freezes items near it, even on the middle setting.

- The murphy bed broke and had to be down for all of a three-week trip. Winnebago supplied a replacement part to the dealer which fixed a design defect.

- We've experienced porpoising several times. Apparently you're supposed to load an RV with more weight toward the front, but that isn't possible in the FLX which has tanks and storage areas farther back.

- The FLX comes with a 31 gallon fresh water tank, and 25 gallon grey and black water tanks. However, the dealer has told us that the supports for the fresh water tank weren't designed to hold the weight when it's full (although we did drive that way a few times before they told us). So apparently we need to carry 30 gallons of fresh water in our truck to put in when we arrive. That's really annoying, considering that Winnebago markets this as a rig that you can be off-grid for 4-5 days; but you can't bring water in it. WTF. We might need to get an auxiliary grey water tank, too, to be able to stay out at least a week.

- The sheathing around the 7-pin plug cable is short and the wires inside are exposed. We've covered it with electrical tape until it can be fixed.

- A piece of dried black foam around the fresh water release valve under the RV has come loose, exposing a disconnected wire which the dealer says is related to the hot water system.

- This past weekend, when we turned on the inverter we could tell that it was on, but it was not providing any 120v power to the outlets, microwave, etc.

- The fridge has developed a loud, annoying buzz when the motor kicks on.

- A couch is now disconnected and moving around the RV when we drive.

Is this typical for a new RV and we're just not used to it? Or what? Thanks!
