    Lemon? What to do?? Part 2

    Ok, my last post was 6-15-15. I just heard from the dealership. like I said, My rig was 2 weeks out of warranty when it all went south (or west in my case). The laundry list was huge, but GD approved all the repairs and will cover it under warranty. Now that this is my LAST repair I'm sure they will cover….. do I trust it? they are replacing: slide motor, A/C circuit board, both radio/dvd players, gray tank valve, all the sheet metal screws on the rear, plumbing in bath sink, and on and on….. The service department said that they were shocked at all that have had to repair in the last year (read last post) and they have never seen so much wrong with any Solitude. Looking to trade into another GD product, but will cost me another 20K. So confused on what to do. All we want to do is enjoy the fruits of our labor. FYI, it will be another 2 weeks minimum before its done. (june 19-july 19) another summer gone…….. any suggestions?

    A little off topic but how has your dealer handled the issues? I had a terrible experience at Cullum and Maxey and assuming that's your local dealer so wondering if I just dealt with a bad salesman or that's the dealerships general attitude. Maybe they just saw the Texas tags and figured why waste their time because they were beyond rude and of zero help.

    Hopefully after all that is fixed you will be good to go.... new rig = starting over with new bugs.

    Great, I heard Tennessee RV was pretty good and just spent a week at Anchor Down in Dandridge, right down the road from them. I wanted to stop by Tennessee RV but my wife got sick so we didn't make it by. Anchor Down was awesome, already booked 12 nights next summer.

    I bought my Reflection 323BHS at Tennessee RV in Knoxville. Beat the Huntsville dealer by $8K and I'm glad Cullum and Maxey were not competitive. As far as I can tell, they're a fine dealership. I had to run mine through Tennessee RV's body shop, the repairs were ungodly expensive--and it took 5 mos. to get it back.

    Good luck with your general repairs.
