fleetwood 2012 motorhome

1

My husband and I bought a NEW 2012 Fleetwood Tioga motor home on 11/11/11, from Dixie RV. We drove 600 miles to Hammond, LA. to the dealership because they were one of very few dealerships that had received a shipment of NEW FLEETWOOD motor homes direct from the factory just 2 weeks before. We saved for a long time and paid Dixie RV $86, 000.00 for it. It was one of the happiest days I have had in a long time. We had looked for a year to find what we wanted and sold our Winnebago in preparation for buying it. We were planning to drive it back home from Hammond, LA to Springdale, Arkansas and spend the night in it along the way home. So, Dixie RV got it ready for us and filled the 55 gallon water tank full. We left there thinking we were set for several years with a quality new motor home. After driving just 180 miles, the engine began making a LOUD knocking and we pulled over and stopped. We called Dixie RV and told them what had happened. They said, "We've never heard of anything like this before." That was all they had to say. Ford Roadside Assistance WOULD NOT tow us back to Hammond, LA. They would only tow us 35 miles. So we spent the night in the motor home at a truck stop. The next morning when we woke up, the 55 gallons of water had poured out into the hull of the motor home. The tow company disconnected the drive shaft and towed the motor home to Vicksburg, LA. and stored it at some fenced tow-yard. Then, on Monday, Ford had the motor home towed to Natchez, Mississippi. That was 10 days ago. It's still in Natchez and nothing has been repaired. The bumper and the grill have been removed and the engive pulled out. Ford says they are paying for a new engine. But can you just imagine how our NEW motor home looks now after being towed over 100 miles and taken all apart??? Don't you just want to hop right in and drive it off?? Neither do I. Dixie RV should have advocated in our behalf for FORD and Fleetwood to replace the thing. Believe what you read on here about DIXIE RV. They are not the GREAT INNOCENT misjudged dealership they claim to be.
