Finally Got the Montana Back

As some may know we have alot of issues with our 2015 Montana 3610 Legacy. We have had the Leaf spring bolts shear off. Black Tank Explode. Tires wear in 200 miles. Led lights burn out in 13 months, black molding disintegrated in the sun within a year. Emergency window latch break. Toilet swapped out for the Dometic. While we were in Oregon this year the large slide broke.1200 later we got it back and Immediately the bedroom slide cable driven gear box broke. After 550 spent the bedroom slide out motor was ripped out of the wall due to the cable blocks hitting the motor.... We just went to take another trip and the BIG SLIDE broke again... 4 hours from home.. We got the slide back in as best we could and right away headed back home.. Took it to an RV repair shop and this is what they found. First the metal bracket on the outside wall of the slide was welded and not the right size.. Too small Then the up and down brackets were severely bent. Then the rod that connects the two gear packs was welded and bent... This rod is supposed to be able to slide together.. They had the RV from October 8 to November 20th.. So this 80k coach was "pieced" together from the factory. Using parts most likely from a High Country Lite..welded together and used bent parts....Cost this time?. 2977.00!~!~!!!!
