We just took a 2 week trip from Seattle WA to San Diego CA and back (3200 miles round trip). Everything was going great for the first part of our trip except some odd issues with the molding which is covering the screws. There was a small bulge which allowed air to get inside the covering and blew it out of the channel. This ended up beating the side of the coach. I ended up duct taking it up so it wouldn't blow off for the rest of our trip. It exposed a screw which is not fully seated which caused the bulge. The second issue we had was a broken flashing brace under the off-door side wheel well. It looks like a simple screw head broke off. Both of these are easy fixes. The largest issue that we hit was on the rear off-door bunk slide. It developed a crack on the rear upper corner and what appears to be a delamination on the forward upper corner.
Sadly we're beyond our 1 year factory warrantee and it looks like I'll need to foot the bill to fix this. Even my extended warrantee does not cover anything but mechanical issues. This happened on our return trip home driving north on I5. We didn't hit anything or do anything drastic or crazy. All other slides are fine. Has anyone seen this type of damage before? We love our Elkridge and are wondering what we could have possibly done to cause this damage during travel.
Thanks for any advice/assistance
