Waiting for my new Winnebago Access 26QP class C, scheduled for a early March delivery.
Dan,
We have a 2012 Access 26Q, now 11 months old. Close to yours, but not exactly the same.
We have had 2 issues.
Number 1 was the fridge refusing to light on gas when in the Auto mode and unplugged from electric. It was worked on twice without solving the problem. The third time, the tech discovered the igniter's porcelin body was cracked, allowing the spark to jump to ground without igniting the gas. Igniter replaced. Problem solved. Go thru the plugging in and unplugging several times while at the dealer's.
Number 2 is a water leak. The unit is currently at a Winnebage dealer and they are attempting to find the leak and get it fixed. The first clue was the water pump briefly recycling about every 4-5 minutes and then discovering wet carpet. The leak is in the bathroom, not the shower, but either the toilet or lavatory. Put water in the tank, turn on the pump, and sit a while to see if the pump turns itself on after a spell. Any kind of a leak will cause the pump to very briefly turn on repeatedly.
All in all, we have been pleased with the unit. We previously had a Fleetwood Class C and the Winnebago appears to have much better build quality. The only design flaw we see is the location of the 30 amp power cord compartment. It is under the slide, and when hooking up in a campground you need to remember to hook up the electric before extending the slide - otherwise you are on your knees under the slide. We especially like the "no extending steps" at the entry door. I added a 600 watt inverter and it took about 2 hours to install it myself. I attached it to the outside of the bed pedestal, on the passenger side, and that puts it pretty much right over the house batteries. I ran the cables into the space under the bed where the water pump is and then through the floor. The cables are very short and hook directly to the batteries using a large fuse for protection. This is something we wanted because we have two flourescent floor lamps that stand in the slide and when boondocking, we can have decent light for reading. Something else we did was to install a recliner in the slide. We removed the half of the dinette next to the bathroom wall, cut the dinette table pretty much in half, and put the recliner in the space where the dinette half was removed. It is secured to the slide's floor and is a welcome addition. With the smaller dinette table, the wife still has room to work crossword puzzles, etc. When she gets tired of sitting on the dinette, there is the passenger seat which rotates and faces the rear. The procedure to rotate takes a bit of practice to learn what to do - have the dealer show you. And yes, sometimes she has the recliner and I take the dinette seat.
Enjoy.
Bill
