not until after the fact and after it was repaired that if it were known that it was a frame issue the unit would not have been covered. Therefore we would have had to pay out of pocket. Keystone and also Lippert refused any warranty. I am the second owner and it was 3 yrs old when purchased. Electrical issues. Unit almost caught fire, had smoke coming from upper vents and it took out the Microwave and Dryer. Wiring is not installed with the best of safety. Plug at rear of unit shorted out while hooked to NEW shore power. The whole drivers side of unit lost power. Replaced plug at rear of unit, manufacture refused to check out. Since then we have had power issues with RV. Had to replace Microwave and still have yet to replace dryer. Plugs in walls are very cheap, wires of crimpt and not wrapped and tightened down like residental wall plugs.
