We need some direction on what to do for our 2021 261BH Transcend travel trailer. We are new RV owners who purchased it in early 2021 after years of research. We took it on several trips in 2021 and enjoyed it immensely but 2022 has been a different experience for us. In March 2022 we contacted our dealer to schedule the annual roof inspection as we were told that the roof needed to be inspected annually to maintain the warranty. We were specifically told that it had to be a dealer and could not be a certified mobile mechanic. They told us that there were no available appointments for us to have the roof inspected until June which was after we needed to use the trailer after we sold our house until our new one was finished. Leaving the trailer for over a month was not an option. It was at this point that we were told that the inspection could be done anytime in the calendar year and that we could do it at the end of the season which we decided to do.
We've been calling multiple dealers since September and just cannot find one that is convenient for us to have the roof inspected. They are all booked up. We could make an appointment in 2023 but from what we were told, that will violate our warranty. With less than a month left in the calendar year, we're running out of time.
Worse, we've started experiencing system failures in our trailer the past month. We've had several water leaks due to loosened threaded fittings that do not have Teflon tape on them causing them to loosen and leak. More, our furnace shut down on us and will not restart. We've replaced fuses but still have a red light in the converter box leading me to believe that something is wrong with it and the furnace is not getting any power. I'd have to remove the whole furnace from the outside to verify that as there is no access from the inside. Additionally, all GFCI outlets in the trailer have stopped working. The main GFCI outlet still works but none of the other GFCI outlets are getting power further leading me to believe that there is a power issue in the trailer. To top it all off, we've seen water droplets dripping from the speakers in the ceiling making me believe that there is a leak in the roof of our 1 year old trailer.
We are looking for advice on how we should proceed and what we should do. We have an appointment for March to have this looked at but would like do what is best for longevity of its life.
