I remember reading your posts while you were waiting. It's been almost 3 years for us and it still feels like yesterday. We've had minor issues with ours....I don't think there is a brand out there that there wont be at least minor issues. Like you, we are very happy with our Bird!!

Glad your getting it under control Dave. Your right Linda remember that a lot of the same components in the bird are in a lot of other brands, even higher end units.

We are patient, aren't we Dave? I'm still waiting for my big slide to be finally fixed, and it's been 9 months since mine was acquired new. It goes down Thursday for major surgery, I guess. They will put a wider piece of aluminum angle iron to stop the top of the slide from coming in too far & creasing the outside vertical trim.

I do love the bird too--everything else is fine--no water leaks (after 5 inches of rain last week!) but I do need new tires as one of my Karrier's is splitting.

But, I salute you for being so patient. I've been patient too, but I'm not sure how I would have reacted to all your issues! Mark

We've been pretty lucky with ours too. We've only had it back at the dealer one time and that was for a leaky shower, which seems very common, and the television had a buzz. They fixed the leak and replaced the television and it hasn't been back.

We've had numerous minor issues with our 34QS that have been taken care of by our great dealer (DALY R.V. Goldsboro, North Carolina) but all in all my wife and I just love our Bird. Can't wait until Thanksgiving week when we head down to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia to have Thanksgiving in our Bird!!

I must be very lucky! I bought my 04 29WBLX used in January 05 and have only had tire issues which did no damage and a small water leak through the antenna lead cover. I did have a window replaced but that was because of a break in.

Happy here too. Fridge is useless, new one gets installed tomorrow. Multiple little items enroute. But way less problems than either of my stick houses and easier/cheaper to fix.

Not many issues with our 30WB either. Very pleased with our Bird so far. Considering we tow a condo around, it would surprise me if more things didn't need fixing.

We really hate to respond to this post for fear of jinxing ourselves but here goes.....other than the problem we had with the propane tank regulator, we only had minor little things that we fixed ourselves. We are extremely happy with "lil Red". She's all covered up and cozy in our yard and we can't wait for spring!

Also very little problems with are two cardinals. In fact, if it wasn't for the kenda tires it almost no problems,
