We purchased this trailer based on the salesperson's recommendation of paying a little more to have the quaility of a Winnebago. We had owned a smaller one for 4 years and were thrilled with the quality. NO MORE. We were told by several repairman that worked on our new trailer (We had 34 repairs with 3 1/2 weeks of gentle use staying in only 2 different RV spots and driving less than 200 km on paved road) that these were called the covid trailers and Winnebago had the worst reputation. Within 6 weeks of use, we had over 43 repairs and the trailer had spent more time at the dealership than us camping. We had to cancel so many rv spots, often losing all our money. We tried to get hold of Winnebago and it was impossible. Sent so many emails and letters to the heads of Winnebago with NO RESPONSE. We had leaks throughout the trailer that caused damage everywhere. The hot water tank stopped working in the first 5 days, the pushout had to be fixed over 5 times and eventually completley redone. They had not sealed the outside wall so the water leaked through and under the dinette causing the cheap phony wood paper to bubble and the glued wood underneath warped. The outside door didn't work. The strut from the awning snapped out on the second time we used it. Thank goodness no one was standing close by. The shower leaked and the floor of the shower was spongy and soft because a piece of the structure was missing from under the floor. The water leaked and bubbled the floor. It leaked under the sink and the faucet fell off because there was a screw missing. A piece of the stove came off and on the first trip 98 km on paved highway, the doors all opened and things fell out onto the floor. The fabric on one of the dinette cushions just flaked off. The door handle on the fridge broke almost within 3 weeks, the spare tire on the back and the solar panel had to be repaired as part of a recall, as well as the LED panel on the stove which was overheating. All 3 or these recalls would have caused serious danger on the road and in the trailer. We left the trailer in a parking lot and went for the afternoon with friends to come back and hear the emergency gas detector going off. When you walk by the dials on the front of the stove, you can accidentally turn them on without knowing, which I guess we did. My granddaughter was with us so the possibilities terrified us. Now, every time we walk to the bathroom or the fridge, we have to double check all the knobs, which is a pain in the butt for sure. I don't have enough space to write it all. We have gone to small debts court, but Winnebago has hired a really high end lawyer and since we are retirees, we can't afford one. If anyone has had any problems with this or similar trailers could you please email us at lasttraintoParksville@shaw.ca. Thank you.
