Well I am not real happy today, Our 3295 that we got new in Nov
and used on one trip only, decided to blow the hose just above the pump and I am assuming it goes to the bedroom. I have not gotten that far yet?
Now a short history, as a retired equip owner and operator I have dealt with hydraulics most of my adult life, when the slides reach the max I let off the button, The hose where it blew is not even close to anything to rub on, so I am left thinking bad hose? wonder which one will let go next? Thankfully this one was in the front compt and all it did was make a mess. could have been upstairs and ruined a carpet!
So far I think it is about a push whether I have more miles on it
one trip, or taking it back to get something repaired!
If I sound bitter I am close to that! We traded in a 2000 Alpha Ideal that never had to be returned to the dealer at all. I am beginning to wonder if this purchase is a lemon!
Also my closest dealer is almost 200 mi away!
Sorry to ramble on
Any ideas?
