Schwintek lube

On our Meridian 34B I could tell it was time to lube when the snap crackle pop sounds started to get worse on the drivers side- the long slide was the worst offender. We have recently traded the 34B...

Schwintek problems

Our 34B required two fixes by CampingWrld and two fixes by WBGO before it finally worked correctly. The dealers do not have enough experience with this problem to do a good job. We were not happy...

As best I can tell, WBGO has Vice residents for lots of stuff, but not for Quality. I've tried to find the VP-Quality's name on the WBGO investors website, but so far haven't been able to.
