2006 Winnebago Vectra

[2006 Winnebago Vectra]

I bought a 2006 Winnebago Vectra off the show room floor at RV World of Nokomis, FL June of 2007. I used it once, and it has been in the shop 5 different times totaling 7 months, and the issues are still not resolved. I am at wits end and don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggetions?

Hi Mark,
I feel your pain so to speak, I bought a 05 Horizon 40AD New in March 0f 06, and it spent a total of approximately 7-8 months in somebody's repair shop or back at the factory (out of our possession). My frustration level was through the roof to say the least and I also work and own a business which made it even harder on my wife and I to deal with. I did file a Florida Lemon law aginst Winnebago and Freightliner to protect my interests just in case things went really sour. I was on the verge of getting the Lawyers involved and to my rescue came Bryan Funke from Winnebago and Harberson Swanson RV in Florida finally put things to rest. I haven't had a single problem with it since June of last year. Winnebago will stand behind it,contact Bryan, he was my saving grace when all else failed me.
One thing I did since the day I owned this coach was to keep a journal on Word in my Laptop. Everytime I did something with it, left it here or left it there,I noted the date I dropped it off, who (I dealt with,how long they kept it, what they did etc... I made a journal entry. I think I have twenty eight pages last time I looked, do not count on your memory. If I talked to somebody or e-mailed somebody or they e-mailed me I kept a log and a copy of e-mail im my outlook folder. Just keep track of everything that transpires just in case!!!!
Don't give up, things will get better. Good Luck, I wish you well! Contact me if you need more help,I'd be glad to be of assistance. Call Bryan Funke at Winnebago now! I have his phone number if you want it, E-mail me privately, I don't want to publish it

i have a friend who has a 2005 horizon. he had nothing but problem with his motor home. like bob stated haberson rv located in palm harbor, fl introduced him to bryan funke of winnebago industries. bryan had him come to the factory in forest city, iowa. bryan advised him that everything would be fixed to my friends satisfaction. it was, they even extended his warranty. bryan funke was great to him. give bryan a call. by the way if you call him just explain your problems, don't yell, or make threats.

This appears to be more of a Winnebago question rather than Freightliner, so I have added a shortcut in the Winnebago Owners forum.

By the way, welcome to IRV2.com, 2006 Winnebago Vectra

Out of curiosity, what sort of problems do you have?
