I'm finding little things that tell me that I bought a $45,000 turd. The owner before me bought it new and lived in it—very little towing. I've only towed in once; the main issue concerning me is a water leak the previous owner covered up. I would have had to disassemble the RV to find it!
After tearing into the RV to find the leak, I discovered that Rockwood uses flexible nylon piping and tries to connect it to PEX, even though this is against building codes, and there is no way to connect the two. They force it! This creates a bad connection that will most certainly fail at some point, especially if you tow it.
So, now I'm trying to decide whether to pass this problem on to another unsuspecting fool (like me) or try to re-pipe my entire fifth wheel.
The thing is, I'm not really a fool. I went over this thing with a fine-tooth comb, but I obviously couldn't tear it apart when I was inspecting it!
Steer clear of Rockwood! They cut corners that you will pay for.
