Tom-NC · 08-28-2015, 08:06 PM

Hi,

I was just wondering who will be at the factory the middle of Sept. as I will be there at that time.

Don't have an Appt' but hope to get on list and get in during the week.

If you are going to Factory, drive safe.

I was there week before last without an appointment. Just be there at 7 on Monday and sign in. They got me in Thursday. They will only fix 7 items without an appointment. The service was great but my windshield still leaks.

We're probably going to stop by on our way to the Hoots gathering, may not be that close again.

Wait. I may be confused. I am talking about Thor factory warranty service in Indiana. Is that what you are talking about?

Hi,

I am confused as it seems there are different coaches going to Winnebago Factory is that correct?

Don't know why a person with a Thor product and a Newmar product would go to Winnebago Factory unless they are going to take the tour and see how a great coaxch is built.

Agree. Great factory tour

I'm not going to the factory but noticed in your post you are from Murphy. I was wondering if the Cherokees have their new casino open yet in Murphy? I heard it was originally set to open in July but couldn't get enough workers to open. Now I hear they will open sometime later this month.
By the way, I like your handle. I was living in Cary when I took my handle.

Hey Tom, after re-reading your starting post, I can see how there might be a little confusion as to who's going to what factory.

For example, if you pick up on the topic from "Recent Threads" box on the right side of this screen, you may not know you're linking the Winnie owners forum.

Thus you get your answer to who's going to the factory.

Will be in Forest City on Oct 6. Going to Lichtsinn though.

mgtr · 09-08-2015, 03:50 PM

We will be at Lichtsinn in Forest City on September 21, 22 for service.

morris61 · 09-09-2015, 08:12 AM

Used Lichtsinn. We're terrific. Call ahead

Tom-NC · 09-16-2015, 09:11 PM

Hi
Well can close this post aswe arrived at the factory on Mon 9/14 and am sitting in the rally campground waiting to get in for service. I am scheduled to see customer service on Fri.

Today we went to visit Lichtsinn to get some parts and look at a few new coaches ( not to buy) and they sure have improved their place. Lonnie in parts has been super. I alaso understand the Ron Sr has retired and lives in Fl.

I also met the service advisor I always ask for and it was great.

Anyone coming to Forest City have a great trip and the weather is fine excdept for the wind.

We arrived Friday afternoon, no appointment, but two Winnebago Tech Advisors on the 800 number politely advised us to come as soon as possible given our issues. We have 14, some significant, but without an appointment that means being in the on call line twice since there is a max of 7 items. Anyway, when we showed up, the front counter staff curtly said come back Monday. Where can I get overnight accommodations I asked, and three times they stated "the city park". I said, well the advisors each stated we could stay on site, but rather than be helpful or even kind, they rudely demanded to know the advisors names. Seeing a lynch posse saddling up I declined to divulge names. Their rudeness knew no bounds, which wasn't appreciated after driving 1,500 miles from Washington State. So, we went to 3 Fingers Campground just west of town, nice place actually. I dread Monday, not sure how willing they will be to fix issues. Diesel heater is out, bed platform track (Lippert) failed, air bed pump failed, side cameras failed, intermittent exhaust brake, rough running slides, and eight other issues...

Heck, even the coach is so embarrassed to be a Winnebago product after 30+ problems, it's front "Itasca" logo fell off in camp two months ago.
