    Wow! Old Post, but hey, hard to leave this set, sorry folks.

    If I were Dometic or Norcold, I would have went after you for Public Slander, from your comment, “the defective refrigerators”. Who are/were you to be able to state that? An Engineer with years of experience? You are, were not in a position to make such an statement.

    Anyways, IMO Prementive Maintenance is key to most all areas of life and mechanics. Meaning, keeping a proactive approach to maintenance and keeping an eye on things.

    How old is my device? Do I do yearly or quarterly look overs of such device? Do I exchange the specific parts which will show wear and tear after a certain number of years of service or not? If not, you are not keeping an eye on things and taking care of your part of things.

    Just my thoughts.

    I have to agree with Pippi, and most of the others on not buying any Rental RV’s. IMO is just asking for trouble, as many of the renters have no idea how to handle and drive the RV properly, and are really trashing it’s Life. Just watch many of the online RV Living Videos of some of the people travelling with rentals. Day 1, Dropped the 5th Wheel on the Bed of the Truck, causing damage. Day 2, started to drive off while the Awning was fully extended, forgot to look around the vehicle before driving off. Day 3 First Tire Blew due to high speeds, overloading and heat. Day 4 Second Tire Blew and damaged the RV undercarriage. Day 6 or 7, Engine Blew its Head Gasket and Damage, due to Over Heating, High Speeds, Massive Weight of the 5th Wheel and so on. . .. . If you do not believe this, I can provide the You Tube Links.

    Lots of the damage will not be seen but are hidden, deep inside the Tranny and Motor, just waiting to hit when you do not expect it. And, while some Sellers will honor their Warranties and Service, many do not do so, or do not properly do so, and you have a battle on your hands.

    Just my thoughts.
