I posted previously on my 2016 Thor Windsport 34f slide out roller ski gouges and decided to take it to dealer for inspection. Turns out the slide floor has water damage and the subfloor has gotten spongy and cannot support the slide. Top also has water damage from split seams in vinyl cover.
Cause is unknown. No washer/dryer. Maybe slow leak from city water connection for the bottom and the seams for the top.
They are working up a quote so I thought I would take the opportunity to ask the forum for advice.
I bought it for 90k and have spent 100s of hours in upgrades to the tune of another 20k. When is enough enough? If the repairs cost 20k is it better to just sell it as is at a steep discount and move on or swallow the pill and fix it?
If I fix it what should I ensure gets done while they have the whole slide out and the tops and floor replaced.
It’s my first RV and I know that if I had known then what I know now I would have gotten something different but I also know that if I bail now and do that I will just wind up putting more money into a different rig.
I expect the answer to the question will depend on everyone’s risk/benefit analysis but I’d appreciate the opinions of those that have faced a similar situation.
