2007 Four Winds Magellan 36K HELP

[BonnieWe]

Hi, everyone. New to forum. We bought the 2007 new March 2008. We love the floorplan and love the look of the Magellan (very sharp). But we have constant problems with it and have it in the shop after each trip. It is there now as well. We were to start full-timing it today, but had to move it from the campground back to dealer. Anyone else having issues? I'm very nervous about taking it out fulltime now. Issues include levelers dropping; hydraulic problems; gas pedal stuck (not fun); slide motor in bedroom vanity kaput; electricity on passenger side of coach went out for entire camping trip; breaker keeps popping nothing on but lights; "hood" fell off; lots of stuff. HELP

Welcome to the greatest rv forum board on the net.
How is your dealer treating you? Fourwinds?. Some of your problems may be vendor related ,but most sound like Fourwind issues.

BTW, I, as well as others have had first year issues,not to your extent but issues just the same,keep firm and positive with dealer, best of luck fulltiming.

I would continue to press the dealer...It does sound like a lot of issues. We have a 2007 Hurricane and did have a few problems - as everyone does. Maybe the rig sat for some time and things dried out?

Hopefully once these issues get resolved, it will all be behind you.

thanks for the replies and encouragement. Every time it breaks, we say the samething "maybe now we have the kinks worked out!". The dealer has been great, but in 2 weeks, we leave Dallas for our move to Ohio where the closest dealer is 2 hours away. We went to dinner with some RVers last night, and they think I should keep a journal and a log, then write a blog about some of the funnier issues (there have been some directly out of I love Lucy.

A true rv'er. Find a little humor in a tough situation. You will do great with that attitude.Here's hoping it works out well.
