Hi,
Own a 2011 Vista 30W with 13K miles. Unit was in an accident several months ago. Just got check from insurance company for $16K after negotiations between dealer and insurance.
Unit requires considerable repair. The rear wall must be removed and replaced due to damage. Removing the rear wall requires removing the entire inside back wall of the MH including cabinets, bed, etc on the inside, and the ladder, backup camera, lights, brake lights, bumper, etc. on the outside. It will also require the "peeling back" of the roof and re-attaching it to the back. Other less major repairs are required as well including fiberglass work, compartment door, etc.
The dealer will give me a 12 month warranty on all workmanship. Work and getting all the custom parts from winnebago will take about 4 months.
Though the dealer says they will fix ok ... is it smart to fix? There is another unit for an additional $60K that would work well. Though I really don't want to spend the $, am I likely to regret fixing the MH?
I am interested in opinions of others that have had similar major repairs.
Thanks
