In my limited experience, balking at warranty work comes when there are two or more dealers in town and the vehicle owner buys from the high volume (i.e., CHEAP) dealer, then tries to get the closer dealer to do warranty work, which typically pays less.
I have had problems on the road twice and the RV dealers even moved us to the top, above locals who bought from them. Most will recognize problems on the road can't be avoided.... |

The other little thing is I am 5 hours away from the dealership. The nearest one in South by 3 hours. If I am understanding correctly from other posts, dealerships do not have to honor the warranty if the trailer was not purchased from them.

Thanks, that's reassuring. Just getting my ducks in a row for the walk through. Enjoy.

I think something was hanging up inside as the slide went out as I could hear a pulling noise. I have not heard one else that this has happened to and it is under warranty so not concerned but will post when they get it ready or pick up with what the problem was. They said it would be about 2 weeks. Would not let this stop me from the purchase of one as I love it and things do happen.

par49,
Relax. This is likely a rather unique problem. I have not seen any other reports of screws coming out of slides in my reading of the forum. We got our 179 in December and have had 4 big and one small trips with it. We have not encountered any problems with the slide or its operation other than the very minor item noted above. |

Given that I am going to be 5 hours away from the dealer, this could be a real problem. Thanks.

We'll be waiting for your report. So far, I have not noticed anything similar, although it does look like the caulking around the edge of the black liner was done before the liner was pulled tight. It was bowed somewhat in the middle. I have since redone the caulking there and have not noticed any further slippage.

Picking up my 180 next week. Did you get this problem solved? Were the screws coming loose on the slide out, only. Or all around the camper.

Thanks, will watch from outside. I can't get pictures to download from IPad as files are too large
