Ok mine had the same issue on window leak. I ended up fixing it my self. Now that leak caused the driver side wall below the mirror to rot. Do a tap test using a coin and listen to the sound. If you hear a thud then you have de bonding. My rv is a 33l. I have a lot of areas to look at if you want to know email me. After all my fixes we love the rv.

Ours has served us well since bought new. No water leaks around windshield. Only problems have been with Onan(fixed) and Norcold (fixed 1st year)

A word of warning. I would be very concerned with the windshield leak. Due to the way that Winnebago mounted their windshields, water can eventually rust out the mounting frame. Repairing the damage to the windshield frame can be quite expensive, depending on the extent that it's damaged. The windshield is often broken during the repair as it has to be removed as part of the repair process. It's a fairly common issue with Winnebago. Due diligence on your part at this stage can prevent a costly repair that you may not have been aware of. You can find out about the issue with a google search. Good luck and happy trails.

Sorry just saw this post. We have an 04 30B and it has been great. The generator needed a carb but dealer did that as we caught it when we looked at the coach originally.

Had a lot of free play in steering wheel that ended up being a ball joint, control arm, drag link and steering arm replace. Made a 100% difference. The coach had some after market steering stabilizers and sway bars.

We have the Workhorse chassis with 8.1 Chevy Vortec-plenty of power and torque but the auto-park system is something to be desired. Had a relay go out so brake locked and wouldn't release.

No problems otherwise and have not noticed any leaks but have seen on forum about the windshield problem.
