I bought a 2020 Wayfarer on a Mercedes chassis recently with 24,000 miles on it and headed from my home in FL for a 2-month tour of the west. After one month I have encountered 10 defects with the motorhome coach. Actually 11 but I had one issue (water heater) fixed before leaving. One of the problems will require a shop visit ( bedroom slide out track is bent badly, I'm told by a mobile repair person), but other problems I can fix myself. 2 issues involve parts I can't find anywhere,so I thought I would ask for help here. First: the strong Colorado mountains wind caught by coach entry/exit door and broke the hydraulic rod that attaches to the step. It keeps the door from opening too widely. Need a new one, can't find it. It is a Staybile product and I cant find it at their site. Second, a kitchen cabinet door, the smaller one under the sink area, has a latch that keeps the door tightly closed. Can't see a name or number. A metal plate has broken and needs replaced. Does anyone have a go-to person or business for hard to find parts.
Although my trip is troublesome because of broken stuff, my wife and I will finish it; just have to sleep on the pull out couch and not take a shower because of a leak somewhere behind the stall, causing water on the bedroom floor. Sponge baths at the sink for another month.
