THE WINNEBAGO VOYAGE MODEL, YEAR 2005 THAT WE JUST BOUGHT HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE AREA WHERE THE WINDSHIELD AND GLASS COME TOGETHER. THERE IS A VALLEY WHERE WATER COLLECTS AND THE USED COACH THAT WE BOUGHT HAS MASSIVE RUST INTO THE FRAME WHICH COULD LEAD TO FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD, ACCORDING TO A BODY SHOP. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THE DEALERSHIP (LAMESA OF TAMPA, FL) OR THE MANUFACTURER, WINNEBAGO TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE FRAME. ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN $1500 TO $8000. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE RUST AND OF THE DESIGN. *JB
