I know it’s kinda like water under the bridge, but many problems can be avoided by getting a thorough PDI prior to taking delivery. If during PDI, I noticed the tv not mounted properly, the water heater not working on ac power, missing any pieces or parts, I would not have taken delivery. Before delivery, all problems belong to the dealer. After delivery you own the camper and it’s problems. Of course, if they’re a reputable dealer, I would hope that Bish’s would get you back in early for warranty repairs.
If Bish does the warranty work promptly, all the rest of the stuff really isn’t that severe. It’s a weekend with caulk gun and water hose, and some sleuthing of all the systems. Winnebago build quality just isn’t good enough that most new owners aren’t going to have some issues. My problem count was 7 when I got home from delivery. Then some more serious stuff within a year, like broken toilet, and fridge falling out of its cabinet. Some easy, some hard DIY fixes, but what I’ve come to expect over 40 years of owning various types and brands of rvs.
I try to tell people thinking of buying an rv: “Don’t do it if you don’t want to fix things. You won’t be a happy camper”.
