We purchased a new 2012 Itasca Ellipse 42 QD and took it on a break-in trip for about 4,000 miles in September. Upon our return, I took it back to the dealer with a long list of write-ups which numbered about 30. Nothing really major and most of them were in the area of workmanship. I remember back in the 60's and 70's when I bought a new car I had several write-ups for the dealer. My latest new cars had zero write-ups as the quality of automobiles have greatly improved. I know that a motorhome is a lot more complex than an automobile, however as I say most of the write-ups were workmanship in nature. I guess the question is does this amount of write-ups seem to be excessive for a new motorhome and maybe a bad day in Iowa for building a coach or is this normal? I have never bought a new coach before.
