Hi Airstream Owners,
I'm new to this so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I bought a new Airstream 2008 DWR in Nov. of last year. I also purchased an option called Perma Plate which is supposed to protect your trailer from corrosion damage. Five months ago I notice extensive corrosion around the rivets all over the trailer. I've been given the run around for the past 5 months, first by the dealer CA RV who is no in bankruptcy and then by Perma Plate and finally by Airstream. I bought Airstream because of their reputation for QUALITY but now I've been told that Airstream does not warrant their trailers against corrosion. I wonder why they build a trailer out of aluminum if not because of it's resistance to the elements ? Has anyone else had this problem and what have you done about it. Please let me know at settani@gmail.com. Thank You

Sorry to say $1500.00 The company now claims it does not protect against corrosion, especially on aluminum. It's intended for protection of paint. Only found this out after the fact.

Hello Again,
Just an update on my problem. I wrote to Airstream at least 3 times and finally received a reply. They simply stated again that they don't warrant their trailers against corrosion. I am looking into hiring an attorney to pursue this. I can't believe that was all they would say. Crazy thing is that after buying the DWR in Nov. of 2007 I bought a new 2006 Airstream A39 Motor Home in April of 2008. I didn't get it out of the dealership until Oct. because of mechanical problems. I learning the hard way that Airstream products aren't quality built products at all and their warranties are worth the paper they're printing on. Anyone know a good attorney ?Posted 12-21-2008 at 06:30 PM by CA DWR OWNER
