Subject: Re: Rialta Problem Notes
Keep Complaining about the Rialta and when you go to sell it
They "The Rialta" will be worth NOTHING.
We love are 95 .
Tire problems?
I have had a new set given to me FREE Every 2 Years ,
Why should I complain?
Refrigerator Problems ?
Mine works so well we turn it up and use it as a freezer.
We use a thermoelectric cooler for refrig. items.
VW dealers ,The local dealer cannot work on it due to the size of
there shop. I was very frendly to there problem now they help
me out "I do my own repairs ,all repairs."they went so far as to
make copies of schematics and read an engine
code "no charge"as well as getting me parts overnight.
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!
Don"t knock the rialta I'm in love.
