Not a club I wanted to join after a year of ownership. My RD just went in yesterday for the exact same thing in the exact same spot doing the exact same movement as Golfmedik`s. Yours no doubt will be the same but because of a different wall stud. Called Keystone to start a file and explain the problem.
They wanted pictures of my camper, my truck, my truck hooked to the camper, my hitch, all 4 sides including the rear. I know what they were doing they were fishing for an excuse to deny the 3 year warranty for something they felt I did that would have cause this. Don`t know how to react to this other than be very cautious what you say to them. Keystone said to take it to the selling dealer for diagnosis and develop a plan for repair. I did tell them to question the dealer, CW, as to their competence to do this complicated repair. After what Golf went through I told them not to waste my/our time with people that haven`t got a clue and just assumed they tow it back to the factory for repair so it can be fixed right the first time so we can all go on about our lives. My dealer just fired the Service manager and lead tech but was told they hired a new manager( 2 weeks ago ) and a new lead tech so everything is fine now LOL LOL. Just don`t have a warm and fuzzy feeling after he wrote up the repair order for me to sign as a Forest River camper after we both just went out and looked at the area of concern. I guess those MONTANA letters should be bigger. Maybe he just needs glasses. I have a problem dealing with people that think they know what they are doing but don`t, must be my 27 years as a business owner.
I read Golf`s entire thread and he kept his cool through the whole ordeal and finally had a good out come to date but I would have gone berserk by page 5. I told the wife if CW blows this we will just take the unit to Amish Family RV repair in Elkhart,( a 1000 miles out ) they have the experience with this particular repair as some of the factories send them the broken units to fix. I will pay for this myself and just caulk it up to cost of ownership and move on. If you get suck paying for this my suggestion is to take it there.
This is an on going problem that has been reported on other brands fourm boards with varying results.
