In The Shop Again

Our Montana is in the shop galley tank repair, tank was replaced last year. They welded it back up and asked if they could put in some cross braces.
Landing gear was not working properly for the third time. Changed the gear reduction , one drive gear and one leg that was suppose to be changed on warranty the first year but was straightened.
The small arm on the large topper roller broke off as we put out the slide . It was replaced.
It seems like every year something screws up on it. We are getting a large list of things that have gone wrong on this unit, our last trailer only had one major problem in 10 years which was fix by the awning manufacture when the trailer was 6 yrs. old.

Golly gee. Someone else has about as many problems as we do. Ours will be in the shop May 6th for two leaking tanks.

Got to be very aggravating. May you be blessed with a better next year.
We are not full timers (~35 nights/yr) but in 7 years I have only replaced the microwave, sound system, a few light bulbs, and an auto reset circuit breaker.
Well I did replace the tires. Not because any failed, only because I did not trust them.
Guess I better knock on wood.

I hear that Bill. That would be @ 245/250 days over a 7 year period. We do 245 days or more in one year and we have a few more problems. Of course you use the Montana exactly as it was designed to be used. A recreational vehicle. We use it a bit harder than that.
