Just wanted let everyone know if they have a unit has bubbles in the paint, it may be the fiberglass is bubbling call your dealer. My dealer submitted an estimate for the repairs. Four winds is standing be hind the product. They are picking the unit up at the dealers in the morning. They have told me they are replacing the sidewalls because they had an issue with the fiberglass. They said the repairs would not solve the issue. That they needed to replace them. They tell me the unit will be back in about three weeks. I’ll update you than. Hurricane 2006 model 34N.

thanks for the heads up . Will keep an eye on mine 2006 hurricane

I go to Elkhart next week to pickup my 2007 33h that had the sides replaced for exactly that same reason. Acording to Four Winds this was a new type of glue that went to several manufactures and has caused lamination and bubbling prob with several brands of MH so far they have treated us pretty good will let you know how the work turns out when we get home, Bad thing is we had to unload eveything from the MH and will have to hit wally world in elkhart to get some small resuplies to get us home

I am happy to hear that Fourwinds is standing behind it.I have had nothing but good dealings with them. I toured the plant last summer and part of the tour was that high tech revolutionary,we invented it glue machine.I think , like all good machines,the bugs need to be worked out.Do yourself a favor and tour the plant,pretty cool.

Let me know how it goes. I sure hope this resolves it for you and me.

Thanks

we just picked up an 08 unit and i hope theey have gotten the problem fixed, this is the first i've heard about it. from what i read this is what put national rv in the hole.

Well I didn't make it to elkhart to pick up my MH becuse they found a leaking cylinder on the slide out and had to order one to replace it so we will try again next week, Bought this in Oct made 2 trips and they took it back in Jan so we have had it equal time since buying it and on top of that they have gotten to drive it more then me. Hope this isn't the proverbial lemon

Chuck, in the past I have had my share of problems with rv's.It cost four winds over $10,000 to fix my last trailer,but they stood behind it.I had to work on thier schedule,wich screwed my summer up. I was frustrated,but thankfull at the same time. All you can do is hope for the best and enjoy it when it gets back. Good Luck.

Have you made the trip to pick it up yet? I'm interested in how they trat you.

let me know!

Well I picked up the MH and can not believe how well we were treated by every one at four winds. They gave us a tour and put us up in a motel we were treated like we had paid a million for that coach.
that was the good there are still some things that need refixed , screws loose or missing some insiide issues and the door light doesnt come on there were not things i thought about checking while we were there but over all still a good trip and i got out of indiana before the snow started got caught in the flooding in St louis instead
