Here is the real statements of ownership of RV's (from them) l-et me know if you agree or disagree........maybe we will have a 500 page discussion/bible for RV'ers here, new and old!!!
"dealer and factory insiders refer to a "list of 40'-As in, on any full size motorhome, there is on average a list of 40 things needing dealer repair or factory refit, 40 issues expected to be found by the new coach buyers, AFTER dealer prep and delivery.
I think all buyers expect some things not to perfect - but I don't think most buyers understand that the warranty period isn't just to fix things that break right away, it is actually built into the RV industry as the way the factories use dealerships to "finish the bus," using the owners as the actual inspection team of consequence."
