My Passenger side slide has been a major problem since I purchased this coach in 2017 after several discussions with factory in 2017 and 2019 I decided to purchase a new drive motor for the slide. After receiving the motor and installing it, to no avail I made an appointment with the factory service center in Forrest City Iowa. When the gentleman that was assigned to work on it opened the door he informed me that the slide was defective as the drive assembly was not powerful enough to work and that Winnebago had been installing new drive system. He also told me that I would have to meet with a customer service manager. Customer service manager told me that it would cost me 3200 hundred dollars to fix this problem. I quickly responded that it was a bad design and I felt Winnebago should stand behind it. While there at factory I met two Ellipse 42QD owners and Winnebago fixed theirs at no charge. I feel that Winnebago is at fault they should of told me about the problems with this coach slide design when I called them with the problem on several occasions. I sadly have to admit that when I bought this coach I thought Winnebago was a quality company to do business with and have now changed my mind.

We bought our coach with twelve thousand miles on it, one year old. Our thoughts were we might spare ourselves that first year of warrantied, but time consuming punch out items that typically show up after an owner starts occupying the unit. We also wanted to save on the depreciated price. We did experience the savings we anticipated but also encountered some problems we had not. After a coule of failed attempts to repair one of the room slide mechanisms while we were out West, we made an appointment with Winnebago( maker of our Itasca bus) in Forest City,Iowa to make the necessary repair at their plant. Their services and repairs were exemplary and the plant tour was interesting and informative. We actually enjoyed our three night stay at Winnebago and furthered our beliefs that we purchased the right unit for us from the right people who built it.
