2007 Itasca SuncruiserVisibility & wipersBody, doors & structure

Windshield leaking due to the metal framework the windshields were attached to was rusted and the glass to metal seal failed. It is my understanding that in a rain storm the windshields could fail and fall out causing a safety hazard while driving. *Tr

2007 Itasca SuncruiserVisibility & wipersBody, doors & structure

In 2009, we discovered that water was leaking from the windshield onto the dashboard. Took it to the dealership and they applied silicone and apparently stopped the leak temporarily. Now again, in 2012 the windshield has started leaking again and it appears that the frame the windshield sets in is rusted. It is our understanding, that if this is not fixed the windshield could pop out and result in an incident that could be very dangerous. In addition, many owners of either winnebago's or itasca's (made by winnebago) indicate that rust is an inherent problem with the frames that the windshield sets in on winnebago's motorhomes. *Tr

The seals in the windows are inadequate to maintain seal integrity, thus allowing air infiltration. Said air infiltration caused fogging of the glass, and an accumulation of condensation within the glass. 2) The fogging and associated condensation caused significant visual impairment for the operator. Both driver side and passenger side visibility is greatly hampered, which in a motorhome is a huge safety concern. 3) The only known solution is to replace the effected windows. *Jb

Repeated heater core problems: our 1999 37 ft.

lake havasu city, arizona where we reside. It seems to us that there must be a problem with the heater core to cause it to contiually blow. We have the repair orders from the previous two incidents and have called rod schlingmann, owner relations at winnebago 641-585-6939 and was informed they could do nothing and to just turn it in to our extended warranty insurance. *Ak
