I am rejecting this response because:
I sent a message to the email provided as requested on April 23 (over 1 week ago now). I received an automation reply that a case was opened, and then I received no further communication. hey've shown they can't be trusted to deliver any sort of quality. I sent a survey to Winnebago with as many of these problems as they would let me list, and heard nothing. Winnebago wants me to contact the dealer and doesn't stand behind their own productBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:
Winnebago has done nothing to fix this situation except again ask me to contact a dealer. Additionally, some of the repairs have already been completed on my dime and time - I couldn't wait weeks to months to have roof and pipe leaks fixed, but there is still water damage to ceiling panels.Initial Complaint

I am rejecting this response because: Clickit offered a review appointment (no fixes just review) for 8/30, which I declined, because they had already delayed the appointment for over 1 month. I lost 10 months of use between August 2021 and June 2022, and I was unwilling to lose the rest of the RV season again. I presented this RV to Clickit on 10/3/23, with all personal gear removed per our agreement, so Clickit could do a full review. Clickit would not allow me to leave the RV for repair. Clickit did not allow me to unhook/level, hook up power, and hook up water so a full evaluation could be performed. At the appointment on 10/3 Clickit attempted to fix a few items but did not fully complete any repairs. Clickit said they would communicate with Winnebago and come up with a plan to fix. Clickit later responded that I should take my RV to a different Winnebago shop because Clickit could not fix to my expectation of factory new. I emailed Winnebago to see it they wanted me to take it somewhere else and never got a response. I am not requesting any goodwill
provision, and none has been offered. I only want the factory defects from Winnebago and poor-quality work from Clickit RV repaired. My preference would be for
Winnebago to fix this RV to factory new.
My second option is to accept a cash offer that would cover the cost to fix known issues to factory
new. The hold up right
now is that Winnebago wants to “protect” Clickit from responsibility to fix
the bad repairs Clickit has attempted. I accepted Winnebago’s
offer of $7000.00 if they would take Clickit off the agreement so I could pursue Clickit for the poor-quality workmanship. Winnebago counteroffered with $10,000 but
still included Clickit. I had to reject
this offer because they still want to protect Clickit. I counteroffered $13,354. If Winnebago wants to protect Clickit
Winnebago must take responsibility for Clickits work. I would still prefer a RV that is fixed to
factory new without losing any additional use of my RV. My first planned trip is May 12th. If you think I can make this RV factory new for $10,000 you should be able to do the same.
Clickit so I cannot pursue them for the poor-quality repairs. I accepted the offer if they would remove Clickit. They counter offered at $10,000 but include Clickit still. I rejected but counter offered with $13,354 if they want to include Clickit. This amount allows me to fix the known issues and "break even" not counting any unknown issue that are found during repairs - I am willing to take that risk so I can get this fixed and use this RV. If Winnebago wants to protect Clickit they need to cover the cost or repair the poor-quality work. Winnebago responded to this counteroffer that they were rescinding all offers and are considering this case closed.
There has been extensive communication with Clickit and Winnebago that Winnebago can access from the last 5 numbers of the VIN 61552. I have notified Winnebago of breach of warranty. I have owned this RV for 19 months and it have never been fully functional. It has been unavailable/unusable much of the time.Business Response

Hello,
Based on the documentation on file, Clickit RV and Winnebago had strived to make corrections to the unit to industry standards and provide the customer with additional goodwill provision. The provided email chain shows the dealership had tried to convince the customer to keep their scheduled service appointment, to review his concerns and address to noted leak. Each time any offer was made was met with a counter offer and no conclusion was made, Winnebago at this time has pulled all offers and will not provide any additional goodwill offers.

I purchased a 2022 Winnebago **** BHS. The Air Conditioning Unit does not cool the trailer adequately. The vehicle is in the ****************** of *********************************. They are telling me that Winnebago will not warranty the ** unit because there is a 10 degree differential between the intake and the air being sent into the trailer. When it is 90 degrees outside and 85 in the trailer it is unbearable. Either the unit is defective or Winnebago has not provided an ** unit that has enough BTU's to adequately cool the interior of the trailer. I am a service connected disabled veteran who cannot sleep under these conditions. Winnebago either needs to repair the unit so that it functions properly or replace it with a unit that is capable of actually cooling the trailer to a reasonable temperature.Business Response

Good Afternoon ******,
I am reaching out to provide Winnebagos response to this BBB complaint. The response is as follows.
This consumer purchased a base unit with a single 13.5K BTU a/c installed from the factory with the ability to add a 2nd a/c through a factory prep. If the consumer needs additional cooling for increased comfort, Winnebago recommends that he have a second A/C installed. This can be purchased and installed by a local dealership at the consumers cost. This concern is not a manufacturing defect, but is considered preference depending on the consumer.
