Hi! I hope I'm doing this correctly. This is my #1 post of the required first two. I read a lot of issues regarding delamination and plumbing leaks. Are those comments by owners exaggerated or honest?
Hi LaughlinBob,
Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum.
If you have a new question or comment, it's generally best to start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum that best matches your subject. Plumbing questions would generally go in the plumbing section, and so forth.
As to your question, I would say that delamination posts are relatively infrequent, and most delamination seems to be related to water exterior leaks from maintenance issues. If you're looking at a 2nd hand unit or one that's been on a dealer lot for more than a year, you should check the caulking carefully and inspect for any signs of prior exterior leaks.
On plumbing fixtures, most people recommend periodically hand tightening the couplings where water lines attach to faucets, water pump, etc. Things tend to loosen as you bounce down the road.
