At the very least, they should stand behind these coaches for 2 years for water penetration issues. Water can do more long term damage than anything else.

Judge, I don’t know if it’s the same for all manufacturers but Thor only warranted my Freedom Elite for 3 months on water penetration. On the one hand it sounds like they have little confidence in their product but I think the reality is that sealing is an ongoing maintenance item with a frequency need of 3 - 6 months. RVs are made of lightweight materials and they flex and move a lot in use. I rarely go even 6 months without having to address sealing issues.
I’m sure I’m in a negligibly small minority on this but I’m just as glad my warranty is expired. Warranty service is slow and poor in many cases but you feel compelled to use it. It might cost a bit more but going to a good independent shop that values your business will get your repairs done right and put you back on he road I days instead of weeks.
