Wanted to trade on a new MH different brand and found i would loose $38000.00.This tells me what an overpriced item this unit is.
9/9/04 While camped in western Pennsylvania we had the slider leak and got the sofa bed soaked. I was under the impression that the sliders were sealed tightly while open or closed. Look at the times the slider has leaked in this unit. Mileage is 10941.
10/25/04 When we raised the levers to return home, we found that water had leaked into the speaker compartment above the drivers side and water came pouring out of the crack where the overhead console is put together. Down over the dash and lever controls. Mileage 11000. Maybe I should build a garage for the Motorhome and when i want to vacation go out there and sit in it and make believe I am traveling.
11/1/04 thru present....... Windows continue to leak so I opened my awnings so the windows are covered. Middle of 05 we filed counter suit against the dealer and manufacturer. On 19 September o6 the court dropped the suit against the dealer. We went forward against the manufacturer. On 20 September o6 the jury found in my favor. Final settlement will be forthcomming.
10/5/06 Here it is 15 days after the jury awarded damages and Fourwinds refuses to settle. We had to file a petition to the courts requesting the court to order Fourwinds to show just cause to why they have not settled.
