RV Horror Stories September 05, 2018, 08:33:37 am It continues to be too hot to be outdoors here, so I am spending too much surfing. I joined a Facebook group named RV Horror Stories. We all know that SOB's, especially those made in Indiana, are prone to having problems that show up as soon as they are driven off the dealer's lot. Cracked frames, the roof pealing back on the drive home, etc. The buyer's wait months for a fix, meanwhile the one-year warranty clock is ticking. A typical "little" problem was a PEX water line that the builder attached with a screw through it. The dealer's fix was to use a larger screw with a dap of silicone.How about the shower drain going into the storage compartments rather than the gray tank?I don't recall hearing of a single issue with a Lazy Daze that was the factory's fault. Have you?
