Picked up 2020 Leprechaun 26' Class C from storage, hard to start, even though we had started and ran it and generator each month, in storage. Anyway, took to a mechanic to find the problem. Rodents ate some engine wiring and some of the air filter. (yuck) Anyway, we were told the wiring was the kind made with SOY covering for environmental reasons. Why would a manufacture do that as it only draws rodents to eat it? Parking in parks and the woods, WOW, stupid move. Luckily it wasn't to bad a bill under $700, but we have decided NEVER TO TELL ANYONE BUY A COACHMAN. This is our 4th RV, 2nd Class C, and it's been a nightmare. Between the leaky front cabover window, we now have taped in to prevent the acrylic from "popping out" (talked to Coachman, they said they would send us a glass replacement last year, never got it), as it's a manufacture mistake they found on this model. Now we find wiring was irresistible to rodents. NEVER AGAIN A COACHMAN.
