The next week we had a cabinet door fall, the screws are pulled out of the wood and one of the drawers in the bedroom broke, it had nothing in it.
During the first hard rain storm we found that there is a major leak above the door, where the awning attaches to the unit
Then the front AC unit died
After that we developed a major fuel leak, once that was fixed they found that the oil pan was leaking
This has all happen since we left on Sept 5th. Has anyone else had these type of problems
I believe all motorhomes have shake down problems when you first buy them. That is when you make a list of everything you find wrong and take the coach to the dealer where you bought it and Gulfstream was very good with us fixing everything we complained about. But it is not just Gulfstream coaches. I have friends with a brand new Beaver Thunder that has had lots of problems, and another with a Monaco Diplomat that they had to remove the whole roof because water had gotten into the walls.
I had a few things when my coach was new, but once they were corrected I have not had any problems since I bought it new. Friendship is suppose to be a good coach and very few complaints on them. Hope Gulfstream is helping you out. The leak on the oil pan would be the manufacturer of the engine not Gulfstream.
