Wanted to provide an update on our warranty work...

Below is the previously posted list. With current update in bold...

Ø Interior Trim pealing and Floor Laminate pealing around toilet and Squeak in floor in front of refrigerator
99% repaired
Ø Exterior Trim- behind driver rear wheel near sewer Repaired
Ø Black Tank Sensor- reads full on one flush- Still don't know if it is accurate
Ø Shower Door Leak lower right near toilet- Repaired

Ø BOTH SINKS leak Kitchen from the sink drain the curved plumbing is not fasten there is no seal so water leaks. Bathroom also leaks in the same place.... Kitchen repaired.. Bathroom has very slight leak... may try silicon

Ø Furnace doesn’t fire or turn on. Repaired.. Disconnected connector
Ø 2 way radios are dead (they work with regular batteries) but don’t know if the charger is functional I believe it is the rechargeable batteries dead. Bad batteries
Ø Brown dust material enters above the dinette just to the right of the speaker selector it has left a stain. Dust and wood fiber material appear on the dinette seats after every tow. What is it? (This one stumps me) This was a weird one the dealer had not experienced before.. The stereo is mounted between two wall upper cabinets and there are wires that run the length of two cabinets the factory drilled out a hole between the cabinets but never bothered clean out the sawdust behind the mount plate so when you drove down the road it would "leak" out and dust and dirt would appear on the dinette.. Problem now fixed
Ø Window to the right of door doesn’t seal properly. Repaired
Ø Dinette window screen is torn. Repaired
Ø Running Lights front and back some have moisture in them and the hardware is rusting. Red ones repaired and two of the amber lights are on back order
Ø Patio light cast iron surround is showing rust pits. Replaced cast iron surround.
Ø Adjust screen door (from the outside) top right corner does not close properly. Repaired.
Ø Adjust door so it is not so difficult to open or close without slamming. Adjusted
Ø Check tires some appear to have a slight bulge Replaced all four tires.
Ø Check Battery test and what is the proper water level? Loose connection
Ø Outdoor speakers- manual indicates there is a connector for hooking up the speaker please advise. Factory sent missing part
Ø Rubber flange around the sewer water outlet is loose and not sealed. Repaired

So it took a long time to get these items addressed but we're about 99.5% of the way to factory perfect. I'm satisfied but like I said before, these fit and finish issues should never have left OHIO. These are basic ISO/QS 9000 issues that a dealer should not need to fix on behalf of the factory. They should be addressed while still on the line. My sense is the current market demand has forced Airstream to push product through the line quicker. The major structural items on Airstreams are very good but the more time consuming fit and finish work is rushed. This would not stop me from buying another Airstream but it increases the importance of a detailed walk-thru when taking delivery. So now I know what to look for.
