This discussion should be of great interest to potential buyers and new owners.
In an ideal world your coach should be in a heated or well insulated building that will never approach freezing temperatures, it will have a reliable 50 amp power supply and it should be a few steps from your house so you can monitor it every day.
Is that possible? Yes, and a lot of us have exactly that means to store our coach when it is not in use. As soon as you take away any of the three elements I described above the storage of a coach becomes more complex. Much more complex.
Even with power and freeze protection things can go wrong and frequent monitoring is really beneficial. If you don’t have power or freeze protection the discussions relating to that show clearly there are risks that can be substantial. So if you are planning to buy a coach, or have just purchased one try to protect the coach as described above because it will pay big dividends.
If I cannot keep my coach secured in a building where it is protected and which has power I will not own a coach.

One final thought I’ll add…
Some customers are in this mindset from the 1950’s that the customer is always right. Actually, no. Sometimes the customer is a PITA and not worth the hassle. Most online software for eCommerce today provides the ability to ban people, including eBay. It’s not that businesses don’t want their money…a business just doesn’t want the hassle for the little bit of profit they might make from them.
I’ve never believed in “the customer’s always right” (even when I’m a buyer). The best transaction is when it’s fair and both parties feel they’ve benefited from each other. That’s a good way to do business, regardless of which side of the equation you’re on.

There are defects, and then there are defects. Those of a cosmetic nature that do not affect the utility of the product, nor detract from the finished appearance of the coach are perfectly fine. Do I care if the inside of the mirror head on my coach is a rough casting and its appearance would not be acceptable if it was visible? No. However if the exterior visible part of my mirror looked like the inside it would be an unacceptable defect.
On the other hand if the mirror, when delivered had small bubbles under the plating, barely visible when you looked close, and virtually invisible from 5 feet, that is a defect that is totally unacceptable because it is a clear indication that in the very near future the plating will be lifting from the mirror head. That is a defect.
Whoever wrote the disclaimer is making junk.

Jim,
Does your card look like the one in the photo I posted back in an earlier post? I have the RV Plus card, 8 cents off the cash price, with a life membership at good sam. Gets paid right from my bank account.
