We have not had any rust problems with our windshield so far. The motorhome is stored inside when it is not being used. I had the windshield trim off of it in the first year because of water running down the inside of the windshield. While the trim was off I used windshield sealer from the auto supply to fill the top edge of the windshield. I filled to where the water would run off of the edge instead of pooling on the top and maybe causing rust on the metal. This has seemed to work so far. We have had 3 Winnebago motorhomes. The last one was the first new one. The other ones were used. This is the first one to give us any real problems. The problems started after the Winnebago warranty was expired. Three years after purchase the Freightliner ECM went bad. Freightliner would only offer to pay a small part of the repair. This was 13 days after their warranty had expired. I had just gotten it out of the barn after 5 months of storage when the problem occurred. Since we were going to the Winnebago factory we tried to talk to one of the "customer service" reps see if they would help us. The rep said "gee, I'm sorry to hear about your problem but we don't tell Freightliner how to run their warranties". We later made several calls to Freightliner and they paid for the repair, no thanks to Winnebago. Freightliner later paid for replacing a fuel strainer($300+) since the book that came with the new coach didn't have it listed in the maintenance charts. They also overnighted a new manual to us. Cummins has been the best for the engine. Three new turbos and one new lift pump without any charges. All caused by the fuel strainer. Onan wasn't as good. Ours also lost the magnets @ 142.5 hrs. We had to pay $430.67 and Onan paid $2659.25. This was because they used the wrong adhesive for the magnets. We thought that this was a manufacturing defect and should have been fully covered. Winnebago has been little help, if any, since the warranty ran out. I hope that some day they find that a little help goes a long way toward keeping a customer. Right now my wife will not even consider another Winnebago because of the treatment by the reps @ winnebago. Good Luck, Indiana Journey
