    If they weren't already out of business, they should have been after people viewed this video. None of us can imagine what you have gone / are going through even if you owned a low-end camper, but at this price point to have years of dreams, plans and expectations shattered is reprehensible. They should have offered you a new camper some time ago.... a Jayco, maybe?? (Not my first choice either but at least you'd be camping!!) God bless you both.

    FYI guys, we just had our 2021 5th wheel toy hauler in for major repairs and replacement on the slide floors due to the cable system failing for what they initially said would be 3 to 4 days and it turned into 4 weeks and even then when we went to pick her up it was still not fixed. So we spent yet another day sitting out side the bay door until they replaced the entire cable system again. Plus a water leak because the guy who installed a new tap didn’t check to see if there was a rubber O ring in the fixture and it leaked water into the Garage washroom.
    We then asked for a meeting with senior management to discuss how we move forward because basically we have a complete lemon. We have had nothing but issue after issue for the last year.
    The result of our meeting was that the manufacturers are going to contribute a very substantial amount towards a trade in against a brand new 2023 model.
    The manufacturer or their parent company should do the honourable thing and either do a buy back from you or as with our manufacturer contribute a substantial amount towards a replacement rig.

    I am so sorry for what both of you are having to endure.....and may i say that you both are showing much patience and dignity in how you are handling this! I am assuming that Tiffin is addressing this work as warranty concerns, and hoping you are not having to endure additional costs.....have you been in touch with both your lender and insurance companies regarding your situation on your 5th wheel? It would be interesting to hear their viewpoints for your experiences and considerations.....sadly saying this, but it's probably a good thing you are filming your plight, as I wonder if this isn't helping things "improve" in solving your condition. I wish nothing but good luck for you guys in your future endeavors; I will keep posted to see what develops! God Bless you both! ~Lou

    • @MidlifeDetour
      @MidlifeDetour  Před rokem

      Thank you so much for all of your great input. Yes, everything we spent those days there for was all warranty work and all of it was well documented and all within the first year. We don’t have a lender and haven’t had to contact insurance due to the manufacturer warranty covering the repairs. Thank you so much for wishing us well! We are looking forward to getting back on track and doing what we originally set out to do! 👍🏼

    @joes2771 Před rokem +1

    You guys are so patient. We are Tiffin Class A (2020) owners. The spouse and I spent a month and a half in Red Bay total. But it was on three separate visits to the service center. The getting up and going to a bay on successive days gets tedious and by the end, we were glad to have everything fixed, but we were ready to leave. The positives were all the RVers and Tiffin techs and after hours folks we have met along the way. What we do now is make the annual Red Bay trip a stand alone trip (we are not full time). We go there on a Saturday, visit friends over the weekend, hit the maintenance and repairs on Monday, and usually we’re out of there by the end of the week with my wallet considerably lighter. But it is a trip we enjoy and have the flexibility to schedule it at times when they aren’t as busy there. Although we named our coach “Murphy” early on, it has been relatively trouble free going on a year and a half now. Hope you get paroled soon! 😂

    Anyone watching these video's feel for you guys. It cannot be easy sharing yourselves in times like this. I cringe every time you say but or another thing or however..... I really don't know how you guys do it. Maybe take Keith Jones suggest. Take the rig for a test drive with the propane on and let the stove take care of things (a previous informative video). Just trying to make you guys smile in obvious trying times. I know it's your beautiful home but if your frame is tweak too, I would really encourage you to seek legal means to see where you stand. You can always take your solar and IS with you. I'm considering getting into this CZcams thing by starting a channel called RV Saints and post your video's.

While staying here I've encountered a couple of NH customers who have to make several return trips to get and repeat issues dealt with. Like you, they hoped to step up to a much higher grade 5th wheel where this wouldn't be necessary. With that said, the level and persistence of issues you two have had to deal with is shattering.
    I sure hope you can soon be experiencing and sharing the RV life you hoped for. It was supposed to be "look at what we are having to deal with"! Best of luck!

    Have NEVER seen videos showing the astounding amount of problems the two of you have had to endure with a 5th wheel that is represented at the apex of quality in the industry. Do you think Tiffins quality control issues are the basic reason they are removing themselves from the 5th wheel market?? So glad that i found a place on the Oregon coast and parked my 5th wheel and pretty much eliminated the problems of bouncing the unit down the highways of America.
