A little recap. Purchased my 06 Vectra in early July. Absolutely love the rig, it has far exceeded my expectations. But like most new RV's there have been some teething pains. Seems like the theme of my issues have been leaks. Have had numerous water leaks on the pressure side, drain side, in and around the bedroom slide, shower and a oil cooler leak.
It was a little frustrating at times, as one leak was fixed another would popped up. But over time we got most of them taken care of.
We have had a few other problems, but nothing that has stopped us from using the rig while they where being worked out. But my biggest disappoint has come from the dealer. They have absolutely dropped the ball in every way in their service department. They wasted my time with 8 hours of travel time and not completing work, shoddy workmanship on what they tried to do and lies about why they couldn't do what they where suppose to do.
So I have been very frustrated of late because I am down to the last few issues and there is no way I am going back to the dealer I bought this thing from.
Also my final issues which are the bedroom slide leak, the over the bed cabinets have major mold issues, the ceiling of slide probably needs to be replaced, the slide itself looks like it may need to be adjusted and my satellite system has never worked.
Problems that I was thinking I would try to tackle myself, but really thought they needed professional attention.
Well I finally shot off a email to Bryan Funke with Winnebago Customer Service and with in one day all my problems where resolved. Brian got with the regional service rep who recommended a repair facility that turns out to be 10 minutes from my office. How I missed these guys I have no idea, it turns out they do major RV reconstruction so they can tackle any job and come highly recommended. And Bryan outlined a plan of action, even thinking ahead to get the cabinets built before the holidays start to come into play.
Amazing! I could kick myself for not getting with them sooner. I am definitely feeling better about things and really look forward to getting the rig 100% and putting many more miles on it next season.
