American Coach: 05 revolution falling apart around me.

[Scorpion65]

I have a 2003 Holiday Rambler and just completed a 5300 mile trip. It set in my driveway for 2 weeks after I got back just so I could repair everything that broke or came loose on the trip. Guess I saved $130k by buying it used so shouldn't complain too much.

Kinda frightening that a switch screwed into a wooden opening next to the only exit gets so hot to cook the switch.

I've replaced over 60 interior halogen lights with LED's. Some are cheap Amazon ones and some are $9 ones from M4. All work just fine even with the OE dimmer setup.

Use it 3/4 times a year and last trip out, two nights in Vegas and back to Phoenix it seems every thing I touched BROKE!

My passenger side fuel filler is leaking down into the side lights. (When full)
It’s impossible to fill it without a substantial amount shooting back out and down the side.
It Has always done that! Bad design.

I opened a shade and the cord sprung and I have to tie it up w bungee.

The two drawers under stovetop broke the 4 plastic brackets at the rear of the track. FLEETWOOD WANTS 12.00 each!

The passenger side captains chair foot rest keeps loosing parts under the seat.

My never cold fridge has been completely rebuilt and still gets up to the upper 50s when on the road.

Sat dome looses signal when the sun shines on the right side ( that’s a weird one)

Basement lights cooked the switch at the front door. Replacement switch impossible to find. Found a retro fit but it gets really hot!

I did manage an oil and filter change on the generator so one positive note .

I’m used to dolling out cash at every turn but this is getting a bit overwhelming.

I’m still at mid 50k miles. My extended warranty expires in oct.
me thinks it’s time to move on.

Move on to what and can't think of anything that will keep more of your money in the bank? Those kind of things happen with any of them and especially in it's first year after birth. Difference is that you have a small fortune already spent, whether anything goes wrong with it or not.
Least ways with what you have now, it's well built and to match it with another side radiator model of equal quality, it's gonna cost you dearly.
I'm at Lazydays now and looking at everything, just for druthers. With the coach you have now, it takes approx. $400K to match it, in a new one and that might be questionable.
