I always keep a tube of Loctite blue on hand for those peskey screws that are prone to back out of the vent knobs and other metal on metal spots where I may someday NEED to remove the screw...

JAVI,

I also keep a small container of Loctite red and blue in the shop. I looked the other day and I've got Weldwood contact cement, some latex contact cement, gorilla glue, two bottles of tan wood glue, a couple packages of JB Weld, 5 minute epoxy, epoxy sticks, a host of silicone tubes, Dicor, Sikaflex and 2 or 3 partly used rolls of butyl putty tape. I tried gathering it all up to put in one place and yesterday I noticed a couple more that I need to put with the rest.

I'd guess that I'm getting to be "adhesive poor" with all the stuff I need to do almost any job. What happened to the good old days of just having a tube of general purpose glue and a tube of Form A Gasket was all we needed to fix almost everything? Or maybe it almost fixed everything and didn't really fix anything? LOL

We live about 15 miles from town and to make a special trip to get something costs about $20 or so. I make it a habit to keep things I'd use around for the convenienve of not having to stop and run to town as well as saving the cost of special trips that can add up to a complete vacation if we saved the money. So, that is a real possibility Barney.

Now that it's colder and I'm wearing wool more and more and there's 3 or 4 rolls of Velcro laying around out there somewhere.....

UPDATE: After Filing Complaint to the Colorado Automotive Industry Dept (Dealer Licensing Board) Windish RV Center in Lakewood has addressed my concerns.

The Dealer now owns the Passport. I am out 1K to dealer and 1.5K to Atty. Considering I took the unit on a 2K Mi Trip, it is OK. I did not have to try to sell the damn thing.

Good for you. I too have a Passport, and it was delivered to me in perfect condition. I didn't experience any of the problems you described, but I think that is likely attributed to the dealer - sounds like you got a real crappy one. I know mine spent hours going over every detail with me - not because I requested it, but because that's what they do. Found only one problem during that PDI and it was a loose support leg on the foldout sleeper in the back. They had it fixed in 10 minutes. Dealers are the last line of quality control, but some don't seem to care about that. Glad you got out of that deal.

I agree that the dealer should be the last line of quality control. The owner of my dealership told me to my face that regularly deliver new units that still require warranty work but will only do the warranty work on items the customer notices and returns for service. It seems to me the some dealers are there to protect the factory from warranty claims. Many of the difficiences on my unit were items I could have fixed myself. But I purchased a new fully assembled trailer not a trailer kit.

You bring up a fascinating point: perhaps the dealers get paid more money for warranty work after unit has been sold as opposed to "finishing" a trailer....

Sounds just like the problems we had when we bought a 2012 salem hemishere 292fk back in march of last year,only had it 5 months and had problem after problem every time we went out we had to take it back to the dealer when we got home they had for atotal of 5weeks out of 5months.I finally got so w/ it I made a big stick about it on forest rivers and salems facebook page and there site forum that they bought it back from us .We paid $29.500 for it and they gave us $28.000 for it so we were happy to unload it.Hope everthing works out for you.
