Wow. This is very sobering news. But very timely for us!
Please correct me if I am wrong, but as I read it the *only* two things covered by the PC warranty is "body of this recreational vehicle" and "custom paint" (listed under 'Warranty coverage, Summary of warranty". All other parts are warrantied by their respective manufacturers, if at all.
The body of the recreational vehicle is covered against 'substantial' defects... like if it falls off? Panel delamination is not uncommon, I see it often. It also does not stop the use and function of the rv, only the cosmetic appeal. So... I would NOT find it out of line a judge would find that the delamination of the layers NOT to be a SUBSTANTIAL defect, but only a cosmetic defect. And since only materials and workmanship 'Attributable to the manufacturer' is covered, I suppose if they got a bad batch of glue, and applied it in the proper manner, and it failed causing panel delamination...or worse... not covered. They didnt make the glue.
Custom paint warranted for 90 days. Wow. I have sprayed a few BARRELS of clear through a gun.... the only defects you would see in the first 90 days is how bad it was sprayed. The quality of the prep work, and undercoat materials quality will take far longer to show. I think 90 days is a very safe warranty on their part.
When I offer a guarantee on my work, it is a promise to the customer that I have faith in my work, and the materials I used. The longer I have this warranty in force, the more confident the customer can be.
This warranty sure sounds like PC is happy the check clears before problems erupt.
We just sold a business building and a vacation house. We initially planned this to be the time we commit to getting our new RV, after learning what we do/dont like in our 2350. (A 2551 on the ford chassis was the choice, btw)
We are waiting now. Let the money grow for a bit. I want to see what the next few years look like for PC, and how you folks with new rigs make out. I think we have a good, proven rig right now. No wonder used prices are rising so quick.
