Newmar not taking accountability? Passing the blame on quality to vendors?

[osuallen]

My question is, why is Newmar's warranty only 1 year while some RV manufacturers have up to 3 year warranties? Being one of, if not the premier non custom coach manufacturer, one would think they would want to assure customers of the quality of their final product.

Which motorhomes are giving a 3-year warranty?

Which motorhomes are giving a 3-year warranty?

Back in 2018 my Tiffin Wayfarer came with a 3 year on all things structural on the house side (walls, roof, delamination, etc.). I went in for some repairs more than 2 years in where some of their body fill work had started to crack where they joined the front cap with the sides to appear seamless. Was an easy approval and quick repair as they accepted my photos as all the proof they needed. All the installed bits was under a traditional 1 year.

Best,

All Newmar coaches are covered with a one-year, unlimited-mile expressed limited warranty and a five-year limited structural warranty.

Notice I stated "RV" not motorhome. I believe Airstream offers 3 year warranty on their units. I've also seen 3 year warranties on other brands at various RV shows.

That's pretty much apples and oranges.
Forest River even issues a 10 year warranty on their travel trailer roofs. Which may as well be a fifty year since they're not going to honor it. The fine print says the original owner must inspect the roof and all seams every 90 days for leaks. It wouldn't have leaked had the owner properly inspected.
All warranties are not the same.
