Follow-Up:
Hi Jim, Sounds like the Rialta is just the vehicle for you. You can spend a lot of time fixing it yourself. That is not for me, when I buy a new vehicle, I keep it clean, but all repairs go to the dealer. I suspect most people who can afford a new motor home feel the same way I do. As far as the tire problems they are having, would you accept a new set of Firestone ATX's? I doubt you would now that the truth is known. Rialta has a similar problem with tires, except theirs is more related to the vehicle itself rather than the tire manufacturer. I would say one major blowout would be enough for me. I don't think I would be satisfied with them simply rplacing them every two years. You wrote "If you can't do some work on your RV and expect some problems you should not own a RV. Drive your house down the road and see what falls off!" Jim, I didn't buy my house to drive down the road, did you? I bought a motor home, key word "Motor" with wheels. Good Luck with you Rialta and happy repairing. Dan
