    Certainly!  the slide-out  floor totally rotted out at close to a year after we got it. It had all kinds of other problems too, so the factory had it shipped all the way back to Indiana (from FL) for a complete go over & repair.  

    It was a Sunnybrook by Winnebago.

    It sounds to me that you are very lucky you bought a Winnebago. From what you say, they stood behind their product and went out of their way to fix it for you, at their cost. Although at some inconvenience to you. 

    I can't tell you about how many posts I have read on other RV forums where folks who have bought other makes can't get warranties honored or get warranty service at all.  If you had bought a different make, you may have been SOL. 

    Over the years I have bought Winnebago products, have had issues with Winnebago products, but have never had as issue getting Winnebago to stand behind their products.

    Keon,

    I have Roadside Assistance in my Insurance policy from Farm Bureau which is included with no extra cost. However I read my policy and the max they will pay is up to $120.00 for a tow. My FMCA Roadside Assistance , $69.00 per year, covers me with no max. to tow to the nearest Authorized  Service Center.

    I agree Herman, at $69 a year, it's a no brainer..

    Where are you headed? Some place warm in the south like Buffalo?😉

    Bill

    Buffalo? Heck no, they have more snow there than I do here!  Something called the "lake effect".

    Headed to Bradenton Beach area, Florida. going to spend a few months there. and then up to Myrtle Beach for a month. By the time we get back it'll be May and spring should be well underway.  At least that's the plan..

    Boatman, good luck with your repairs. Unless you have access to a heated garage, best you can do right now is try to seal up any leaks and wait until spring to repair.  Keep in mind that there could be many other sources of water intrusion other than the roof.  Best to check all roof seams, especially where the roof meets the walls or end caps,  and seals around any wall  mounted items directly above the damaged area such as windows, mirrors, marker lights, awning supports, exhaust fans, etc.  

    Carl, happy to share.  This type of damage was at first a huge mystery to me too.  Took me quite a while to figure it out myself.

    Holes look round and uniform in size, like a tool was used to allow water to drain? 

    The holes are caused by droplets of water in the walls expanding while they freeze causing the exterior surface to pop out.  That's why they all look to be about the same size and are round. 

    Very common issue in older MH's found in northern states and provinces.

    I had the same issue on a previous "new to me" 2001 Itasca Suncruiser. 

    I came to realize the damage to the sidewalls was caused by water infiltration thru several sources. One was a crack in the skylight over the shower (which allowed water into the roof and then into the wall panels, another was thru leaky top window seals in the bedroom wall, another thru compromised mirror mount seals, another thru compromised awning arm mount seals. 

    Once I had all the leaks fixed, I then sanded the damaged wall areas,  used fiberglass auto body filler to fill all holes, sanded as needed, and finally repainted (sprayed) all repaired areas blending the paint to match. 

    Came out really nice, MH looked like new and we never had a repeat of the issue again.

    Carl, hate to have to be the one to point this out but your pricing is off.

    Gas today is currently just under $1.00 CAD.  That about $3.78 per gallon CAD.  At today's exchange rate of $1.357 USD to CAD, the in USD is $2.78 per gallon.

    Now that is still more expensive than in the US. its $2.26 per gallon in Maine,  but the good news is that Halifax is only about 340 miles from the border of Maine, so Tim will likely only have to buy a tank or so at the $.50 per gallon price differential.
