RV Warranty Repair Unresolved after 2 years. Fulltime RV Behind the Scenes.

[@darrylt5300]

I love your videos it's one of the last ones I will watch because it is about RV life on the road full timing most of the one videos i use to watch tuned into commercials always trying to sale us something or have to have a sponsor, there is way to much commercials in the world already. Thank you for keeping it real.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Darryl. Thank you. We are a veteran family, an immigrant family, and a full time RV family. In three seasons we haven’t promoted products for a reason. What we teach our little girls matter. You won’t see us asking for free meals and if it’s on camera, then we probably bought it at Walmart, Amazon, or Tractor Supply. All the best from all of us here. Pam & Lee.

[@davewilson8308]

I agree!

Thanks Josh!!

Just wanted to ask, are y’all going to make a trip up to Alaska. That would be a fun journey to view with you.

[@discoveryboundrv]

We are definitely going to Alaska. We also have to do Hawaii to finish out our 50 states. Both trips are currently being planned. Keep you posted. Best, Pam & Lee

My husband and I have been to Michie's Tavern was great. Thomas Jefferson's house and James Madison's house. Tour guides where great at both houses. Enjoy! :)

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks. That whole area is so comfortable and rich in culture. We had an amazing time there and love when our travels take us back. Williamsburg is another favorite of ours too. All the best, Pam and Lee

It’s so great to see y’all back where it all began. Y’all are truly amazing

Thank you Caden! ❤️ It was great coming back in the area, but we wished it was for different reasons. LOL. The Shenandoah valley has so much to offer.

Me being able to drive our motorhome was a must the last few years we RV’d I drove some days. Mostly on the interstate. Pam that food look so good. I hope when they finally get the floor fixed it last till time to trade for a new rig with washer and dryer. Great family awesome travels was a fun video to watch with the morning coffee. Til the next one

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you Irene. We hope they fix it soon enough. So glad you were able to be comfortable driving your motorhome. It was probably very nervous learning to navigate around. Best, Pam.

[@tkilg7169]

Helpful tip. I fashioned a hook at the top of the pin box toward the fiver, so that I can coil and hang the cable so that it does not drag when pulling the truck away from the fiver, and it keeps it from falling in the dirt. When hooking back up, it is right there/ handy to uncoil and connect to the truck. I used some stiff 10 gauge (I think) fencing brace wire that I had laying around. It is strong enough to support the cable and fairly easy to shape into a hook. I wrapped some tape around it to prevent chafing of the cable.

[@discoveryboundrv]

That’s such a great idea. Love it and so practical. I’m glad I’m not the only one that has experienced this issue. LOL. Pam

[@stevebulson5833]

We had a vinyl flooring issue also with our camper that was 6 months old. Our dealer said they would fix it finally after 3 complaints to them and the manufacturer. They told us that to do it the right way they would have to remove all the cabinets and pretty much everything in the camper and they said they refuse to do that. so they cut out around everything and then cut the new vinyl floor the same shape and put it in. when we went to finally pick it up it we found that it wasn't glued down...there were places that were so wavy and they put molding down around the edges to hold it in place. I refused to take the camper and called the manufacturer and explained the situation. The manufacturer sent a person out to look at it . We received a call and were told to come pick out a new camper that was the same model. Once the dealer has your money from buying a camper then they cou;d care less about you.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Steve, we are so glad this worked out in your favor. You are definitely singing our song. The dealership wanted to put a different floor pattern in than the rest of the rig. Different colors, pattern, etc. We said…What? This is a manufacturing issue, talk to Jayco and fix it. Now we are going on 2 years of fighting this and our little girls dodging nails in the floor. Incredible. No words. Thanks for sharing your story and all the best from all of us here. Pam & Lee.

[@darrylt5300]

Good info. I always wipe off my stabilizer jack tubes before I lift them up.

[@discoveryboundrv]

It’s amazing how one little habit will save big time in the long run.

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Get he washer and dryer, trust me it’s a game changer. So nice doing it right-in your rig!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you. Not only is it on our list, but it’s also a constant theme lately. LOL. We will try to fit it in soon but it’s going to be tough with all the holidays coming up. Keep you posted.

[@medic1541]

Full time RV'rs here. We're scheduled to take our 2021 Jayco Pinnacle into the factory next month! THANK YOU for the video! I'm nervous, as, I think, we should be. They want our rig for 3 weeks!!!!!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Oh no! What do they need to fix that requires 3 weeks? A lot of times our dealer wanted us to drop our RV off and then they would try and fit it in the schedule. As full timers, we said Nope. Same day service or maximum 3-4 days. We have to pay for our own lodging so less is more. LOL. If you are taking it to the Jayco factory, then count your blessings. We were always sent back to the dealership. Good luck in your repairs and we wish you all the best. Pam & Le e.

[@medic1541]

@@discoveryboundrv We have a "Covid Camper," (made during covid). That is what we call it. I believe the "quality assurance" people were NOT working the day our fifth-wheel was put together. First. there was NO hose from the black tank to the back of our blank tank flush, wet bay. That cause a lot of water damage to the under carriage and basement!!!! We had to have ServePro come out and use their big fans for 3 days to try to dry out our undercarriage! Well, now our undercarriage is falling out, currently being held on with duct tape. We will also probably need a new roof, as the adhesive was not really good and its already separating!!!! Lots of other small stuff, etc. CALGON! TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!

[@discoveryboundrv]

OMG! I am so glad I read this at night instead of in the morning. I would have spit my coffee out laughing at the “Covid” designation and then crying because of the water and roof damage. That is so awful and we feel so terrible that you guys have to go through that. We wish you all the best and hope that you can put this behind you soon. Definitely a doozy of a campfire story moving forward.😀 Please keep us posted on your progress.

[@joangosselin]

Having an extra battery is a good thing. Remember: 2 is one, and 1 is NONE. :)

[@discoveryboundrv]

Definitely words of wisdom. 😀 Priceless. We find that half our batteries say full, but last about 5 minutes. So frustrating.

[@rvadventuresofdavidkarenlu3362]

Great video. O I know how you feel after 5-6 hours of being on the road. You made me giggle. Safe travels and enjoy your journey.

[@discoveryboundrv]

We have learned the hard way that anything over 4-5 hours is just a bad time brewing. 😀 plus, you bypass so much of the countryside and we always want to experience as much as we can. Our little ones let us know real quick when they need to stretch their legs and call it a day. LOL. Safe Travels, Pam.

[@nextupcamping]

We just purchased a GoPro 10 to start using on our channel. Hopefully, it will be more convenient than using my phone. I hope the learning curve isn't too steep haha. Eventually, I would like to also add a DSLR camera as well. I did purchase two extra GoPro batteries for a total of four. Maybe that will be enough. Hopefully, you guys can get your warranty issues resolved soon. I can only imagine how inconvenient it must be. We look forward to your next video. Safe travels

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Brad and Family!! :) A GoPro is essential for many different situations. We want to upgrade our GoPro, but now that it's already an older model we might be using it to do more crazy stuff like mounting on the side of the rig and the classic driving over it. However, most of our videos are shot on our iPhones. The DSLR (Canon R6) is used for stationary shots (Top 10, etc.) , windy environments, and creative angles. Basically, we don't do 4K because we use our phones for everything. One day we will get better at YouTubing. LOL.

[@nextupcamping]

@@discoveryboundrv That’s great feedback. Thank you. After all, it’s all about the experiences with your family. But you guys do a great job of capturing those experiences and sharing with everyone. I appreciate how each video is edited and pieced together; I know that’s a not quick at all. Thanks again!

Yay, Ocean City Maryland! I love visiting the beach year round! I was pregnant during the more active part of the pandemic and I would get my exercise just walking along the beach with my little family with no one else in sight. The flooring situation is incredibly frustrating! You guys have been so diligent (and patient) about scheduling repairs and working with the service department. I truly hope they do right by you guys although I'm dubious about their ability to lay a floor to the point where it looks like it came from the factory, but if they say they can do it perhaps it's not their first time at the rodeo. It's all going to work out 🤞

[@discoveryboundrv]

Long walks on the beach is a dream come true. Having the beach to yourself is a fairytale. 😀 We love the peaceful sunrise and sunsets. So magical. The truth about RV repairs is that it’s the one constant that will always be there with you while your camping. LOL. We will see how things turn out and keep you posted. How did the show go and did you find a new amazing floor-plan contender to add to your list? Finding your perfect rig is an amazing experience so let the dreaming continue and soon enough you will be able to let the good times (literally) roll. All the best, Pam and Lee

[@ifatola9405]

@@discoveryboundrv Hey Pam! The show was great! It was A LOT but I'm sure we went through every Fifth Wheel and Class A currently on the market. It was also cool chatting with the Reps from the Manufacturers. We're still pretty in love with the Milestone but the quality on the Primetime Crusaders is hard to ignore, it's pretty amazing! Took your advice and used the kitchen cabinetry as a barometer lol. Everyone is touting solid hardwood kitchen cabinets but ehhh, some are still just janky! Popped into Jayco's line and that's one solid vehicle! I know Grand Design has quite the fan base but *whispers* their kitchen cabinets and trim felt very cheap. Many people commented on the prices, a salesman even told me that the show price at the 2021 Tampa show for the exact model with minimal "update" was $35,000 cheaper...that's a huge difference and a lot of money to justify. We then wrapped up our time at the by checking out Hershey's Chocolate World where we had a #totallyfreealaDisneySprings experience learning about how the brand came to be which included a free ride and sample of chocolate 🍫

I think flooring issues in an rv are about the worst problem to have, it's laid 1st and everything is built on top of it.. i bought my rv in 2015 under advice from my friend who's been an rv tech for 20 yrs.. he told me not to buy anything but a northwoods product, it's been 7 absolutely trouble free years now.. good luck & safe travels guys ✌️

We completely agree. To fix flooring issues requires removing a whole bunch of stuff that you really don't want to remove. Glad to hear that you aren't suffering the RV Maintenance Two-Step. LOL. We will get this repair all sorted and keep you posted. Pam

How did you like Walnut Hills? (except for the dump station). I've been there several times, always park at the top of the hill.

Hi Frank. Walnut hills was the first park we ever camped at. Our first spot was the one halfway up the hill. (Check out our First Time Towing Fail video, it’s a hoot).

Those combo washers and dryers use a ton of water, will take at least twice the time to go through a cycle, when you take the clothes out there still going to fell damp. And there so small your going to have to do far more loads. I had one and hated it! Got a stackable washer and dryer and have been far happier for 10 plus years.

East coast wind has ripped all of our loop holes on the rug corners. Now we just put the stakes right through the rug itself. All the best. Pam & Lee

[@patrickburke9764]

No offense, but rv dealership are what it means a dealership but there,s professional floor layers that can repairs floors right the first time !!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Patrick. We agree. The problem with RV Warranty is the manufacturer will only authorize you to go back to the dealer you got the rig from. They won’t let us go anywhere else. Hopefully we can show others the struggles we are going through so they don’t caught up in the same situation. Besides, this is a manufacturer problem from when they built the RV in the factory. We shouldn’t have to pay to fix it. 2 years later, it looks like we might have too. Keep you posted. Pam & Lee.

Good grief you guys, those warranty repairs are your nemesis. How frustrating?
