I'm so sorry to hear this and wish you well. Your tribulations with a brand new Wayfarer, have completely halted our own imminent purchase of a new Wayfarer. We plan on living a good chunk of the year in our RV, and experiences like yours make it completely out of the question. These are huge investments to make, and this kind of failure is completely unacceptable.

So nice to have found your channel and really enjoy your videos! Sorry to see the problems you have experienced already. We too are new Wayfarer owners having purchased a 2025 25RW a couple of months ago. We will definitely look forward to your updates. We live in the PNW and have been in a lot of rain with it but have not had water intrusion like you have experienced. Even though we try to get the slide topper cleared of water and debris before bringing the slide in we get a small amount of water on the floor behind the drivers seat that we're able to mop up with a rag. We are scheduled for our first service next week and that is on the list to have the slide wiper checked. I did notice after we bought it that the rubber slide seals had paint overspray on them so they weren't sealing properly when the slide was extended so I was able to clean them off. Love your "Ruby" toad. We have a 2020 Willy's 4 door that we have previously towed with another Class C but unfortunately it's too heavy for this unit so we will have to downsize to something similar. Hoping you get all your issues resolved soon!

@ Guess we spoke too soon. After heavy rains and wind last night we went inside the rig this morning and found a puddle on the floor near the kitchen drawers and water dripping out from the ceiling light above the microwave. Everything was closed up with our coach at our home. Not sure where it’s coming from. Nothing mounted on that side of the roof with Coleman Mach AC being the closest. Dealer service scheduled for next week.

Oh my! That is terrible! We're beginning to question the sealing methods they are using for these rooftop mounts. We found out that the running light leak we experienced was a bad seal as well. Aren't they checking these before they leave the factory? We wish you the best of luck with this repair, and would greatly appreciate it if you could let us know how this works out for you. Thank you.

We are 1 year from retirement. It has been our lifelong dream to buy a Motorhome and travel. Never had a RV of any kind so watching videos and reading reviews is part of the “homework”. I know it is impossible to please everyone, so I do take reviews lightly but just wow! I hope the industry can turn it around, this is really unfortunate when it could be rectified so easily. Quality Control should be front and center!

At this time, I would suggest that you take your RV to Red Bay! We had a new Phaeton and on our very first trip we had to go to Red Bay. The first year of owning our MH, we spent close to three months (on 3 different trips) in Red Bay - but we were wanting it perfect! Tiffin will fix everything for you, but you have to be patient! So sorry for this! Getting Tiffin to give you a new RV or going to a different manufacturer doesn’t mean your new one will not have any problems. If at all possible, take it to Red Bay. We were lucky enough that we were retired and could stay with our baby until it was perfect! Tiffin’s motto is job isn’t finished until you are happy! Good luck! BTW - keep up positive attitude - this is just a bump in the road!

Glad to hear that LaMesa has it indoors during the storm or it may have had the ultimate water leakage test. Six hours since you posted the video and a lot has changed on the weather projection, and suspect your home may now be included in the outer edges of the cone rather than just outside it, and Port St Lucie is well within. I am in Orlando and for the past day it has been a beeline for Tampa/Orlando exiting south of New Smynra with later updates dropping to Cape. However, the 6:00 update had a significant drop south (Sarasota), and as I type this at 9:00 a smaller but continuing drop south where now appears entering Venice/Cape Coral and exiting Melbourne/Vero Beach. Hope everything turns out well. Be safe.

Oh, man! We are on Tiffin #4 in 17 years. We were so impressed with the three used Tiffins we took a leap and bought brand new in 2021. Lots of problems. We have gone to Red Bay with this unit 5 times for warranty work. HOWEVER we love Miss Corona. You are lucky La Mesa is doing you a solid. We didn’t trust our dealer as they didn’t fix the Swintek slide before delivery! We have had great service at Red Bay but not everyone can get there easily. Heck, it’s a haul from WV. I’ll be praying for your Wayfarer’s speedy repair. It’s good your dealer has great rapport with RB. If you ever go there, let us know if you need suggestions. Jim and Sue

As usual, great video guys. We have a 2024 Wayfarer RW (no slides). We had the exact same issue as you with the lights over the cab. They were all installed too tight and every single one of them had hairline cracks. We had literally a few drops in the cab and the Techs at LazyDays Tampa were smart enough to figure it out. Side question we bought a Jeep to pull (you were a big part of that) can you tell us your toad set up. We are researching it on the net, but there are so many options and I’d love to know what you guys bought and your experience with all of it. Thanks for the informative videos guys.

Thanks for providing us with the information about the over-tightened lights. We will definitely speak to them about that. As far as the tow package, we went with the Blue Ox tow bar and the Patriot braking system. It was not cheap, but we heard good things about the quality, and we have been happy with it thus far. We plan in doing a video showing our tow set up as soon as we get our RV back. Stay tuned...

Many commenters are touting the pre-purchase inspection as a way to avoid a lot of issues, and we do recommend that. However, we're not convinced that these issues even existed when we left the dealership. The best advice we can give is to understand what problems you may potentially have, and mentally prepare for the possibility of a less that ideal experience. The most important thing is to do your research, and select the best RV for you with the most reliable track record. Lately, this is not an easy task, but it is definitely possible. Good Luck.

@@karinwest919 True, and thanks...but should have specified not the freestanding sofa/recliner but the sofa position of a murphy bed unit. That would require a re-design and re-upholstery. If your View is the 24D will know what talking about with the rigid foam and aggressive, more upright, back angle impacting comfort. While that can be corrected, what ruled out the View (and Entegra/Jayco) was shrinking the bathroom width as they reduced Tiffin's 36" wide shower to 32" which also sets the bathroom wall width, causing knees to hit the wall when sitting on the toilet. Thor and the new Grand Design have adopted the Mercedes 4500 chassis which is a non-starter. It drops towing from 4220lbs in the 3500 chassis to 3150lbs in the 4500 - which most people don't know, and it certainly isn't in marketing material.

Because you’re an idiot. Do you hear yourself? There’s a reason why these laws are written in sensible states. You can’t even keep your eyes on the road. Watch your own video!

Listen, you can’t keep your eyes on the road. Look at your own video. Civil? Is it civil to cause an accident and possibly maim or injure someone else? I’m shaking my head at you being too self centered to pull over for a few minutes.

Milton will let you file an insurance claim, then you can start over again.

It's funny you should mention this. We just heard a story about an insurance claim for a damaged RV that was denied because the owner had the opportunity to take it out of the area but did not. That's not good.

Tiffen needs to buy back your RV. The "loss of value" you have in your RV even after it is fixed is unbelievable. The repairs will be part of a CarFax report on your vehicle. There will be mold problems that will never go away. I suggest you get a lawyer and demand your money back. Once you do get your money back, I suggest you purchase a new RV WITHOUT slides.

The buy-back option is something we would consider as a last resort. Your concern about slides is something we will definitely agree with. The slides seem to be a weak point in the design. Thanks.

It's actually not as easy to Lemon Law an RV as you think. In many states, the Lemon Law only applies to the chassis, and not the "house."

You guys are too nice. 1. If you had water coming in why would they leave the rig outside?!! 2. They tell you that they aren’t responsible for damages due to storm, yet they don’t inspect until you there. Why? 3. YOU SHOULD BE MAD AT LA MESA! You should be mad at the service department. You should be mad! They have had your RV for over a month and they haven’t done squat!!!! Your rig will never be the same! Water intrusion, as you say, is not GOOD! Mold is growing and it will never go away! Stop being so nice. Get a lawyer. I hate to be a Debbie Downer but you better cancel your February trip.

You ask some great questions, and we'll be expecting those answers as we continue with this saga. We do believe that water intrusion can be mitigated if done correctly, and we will be ensuring that everything is done to our standards prior to our February trip. We do feel that directing anger at people who we believe are doing everything they can to assist us is a waste of energy. We're going to try to be positive and optimistic as long as we can. Thanks for the post.

@@halffasttravelers2702 I’m rooting for you both. I always enjoy your trips. You can still be nice but that eventually wears thin. I had to get somewhat pushy when we had our issues.

Dan is retired LEO as well, so he is very used to dealing with adversity and a variety of personalities. We are hoping the interactions and experiences don't reach a point where he will have to take a "less understanding" stance. So far though, we have been treated with respect and understanding so we have to be happy with that, for now. Thanks again.

No Valiums yet, but we are probably going to need them before all this is over. We hope you make it through the storm without damage. Fingers crossed.
