I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE!!!
We owned a 31’ Class C for 5 years. Grandkids grew up so we downsized to a Promaster Ram Zion Slumber. We haven’t had it six months and we already have several problems!
We got a call from the dealership saying we needed to bring it back so they could fix/replace the dump cover as it was broken. Which they didn’t tell us when we received our brand new vehicle… In the pictures we saw at the dealer there were locking latches on all doors and drawers but when we got ours there were plain knobs on the cupboards-we asked for the three we didn’t get, now they’re charging us $250 for them!
Our first trip just four hours away, the little screw covers fell out, then the screws in the door screen fell out. Then the buttons started to pop off the interior padding, and the driver’s side step stopped sliding out-we found that the framework that holds it to the van was broken off.
Next trip was to Ontario, the clips on the sliding window shades fell off and are now lost behind the couch and inaccessible, the shower hose inside is leaking each time it’s used. The shower hose outside was too short to use and had to be replaced. The lithium batteries die quickly and we have to either plug in or run the vehicle for an hour to recharge them. You can’t run the AC unless you’re plugged in. The water tank has been filled twice and now must have a big crack in it because it only holds 1/2 a tank and spills all over the ground. When we drained the black tank then the grey tank the first time it was fine. After draining it the second time, now the Firefly sensors show it’s still full-also not working. Next, I couldn’t figure out where the water was coming from on the floor. Our mat was soaked. Thought it was the fridge as it usually drips down onto the drawer and down the wall but after searching for the problem I found that under the drawer where the pipes are in the small closet, was soaked from the two pipes that were dripping constantly. I dried it out but then had to place cups under the pipes to catch the water. After dumping the cups three times overnight, i had to turn the taps off to prevent any more water damage. Also, the pop top leaks at all the seams and drips inside on the bedding and ledge. When you slide out the bench seat to complete the king size bed, you can’t lean on it without putting something under it to support it because it collapses under any weight. When the bed is down, the bench seat and the couch with the seatbelts (side facing) is not made of the same material so sleeping in the passenger side is different than the driver side. We had to buy a 4”thick foam mattress to put down on top to be comfortable.
I’m not sure if we have a Friday vehicle or if this is typical for this brand BUT I know the speel they give you at the dealership is not what you get for $200,000. You can go to the wilderness for 4 days as long as you don’t use anything but the bed!!!
Had we known about all the problems with the vehicle we never would have bought it. We’re now looking for a Westfalia that is tried and true!!!!!
