Hello, I'm looking for experiences from other owners of Toy Haulers. I just bought my 2021, and I'm already seeing the following after only first trip. Wondering if I am too "particular", or if I really should expect better: see pictures.
1. First picture shows fastener corrosion. I was told "the warranty doesn't cover rust". Well, sure definitely I get that. After all not every surface can be rustproofed, and surface rust is to be expected. But this looks like defective fasteners that will structurally fail sooner, rather than later (but, possibly after the first year). Thoughts? Defects in workmanship, or cosmetic surface rust that can be safely ignored with no impact on longevity.
Hmmm that is a little large... still figuring out how to put images on here appropriately.
The next picture is of the rear metal BESIDE the ramp-- I was surprised to see that it appears to have only a single layer of paint on it. I would expect that, like the steel on other parts of the RV (the pin box, the door frames), that it would have been primed, and then several coats of paint, and then maybe a clear coat on top. But no, there's only one layer-- and so, there are already weather stains and rust. And, I've only had this thing for a couple months!
