spence3601: Our first Attitude(2008 L21LB) also developed frame cracks above the axles. We had a certified welder fix ours before it broke in two.(check your frames every trip kids!) This is not an Eclipse problem, but a problem with Lippert Components; who make the frames. Most of the trailers out there use Lippert frames. I was told the frames will especially be prone to cracks when doing tight turns, more-so when loaded to the max. We bought our 21' used in 2013 and absolutely LOVED it! BUT; it was getting too hard for us to climb the ladder to get into the rear upper bed, and decided to get a new 2018 Attitude 28iBG; mainly because we had such good luck with the old one. Boy, were we surprised! At the PDI @ Giant RV, we found the inverter under the bed torn off/cover for propane tanks missing/table top for sofa slide missing/coffee table had only 1 support post and was very unstable(factory was nice enuf to add one for us; many thanks to Cristopher/Daniel/Kevin)/tear in the unprotected sub-woofer(I put a Kicker GR100 grill on it)/kicker amps not adjusted properly/touch lights in bedroom and near rear beds caused interference with the sound on AM-FM radio(to be replaced)/cracked lens in ceiling light/one ceiling light in bath that was not connected/junction box cover under kitchen counter missing. Our salesman Joe A. in Montlcair was very nice and helpful in working with the factory to remedy our issues. Then after we got the trailer out of the factory for the first round of repairs; the water heater quit the first trip out(pushing gas but no spark; worked before trip; most likely a bad circuit board)/black tank monitor panel was giving us false readings(empty or full-nuttin in between. Found sensor wires pinched in between frame and floor)/3 cracked 'Attitude' graphic stickers/plastic wire cover inserts on outside of electric awning warped and fell off/noticed the black/grey water tanks filled up faster than normal; called the tank manufacturer when we got back-gave them the model #'s-they said those tanks are 38 gallons each instead of the 50 gallons that are supposed to be on that trailer. Factory replacing tanks as I write./ Wood facing at bottom inside of sofa slide starting to separate/no wiper seal on top inside of sofa slide/hole in upper rear corner of sofa slide(daylight coming thru when slide is open or closed)/hole drilled in floor between right fender well and entry door that was covered by vinyl flooring but never sealed from underneath/most of the electrical/water/propane lines that go thru the floor were not sealed/sheet metal in cooling duct for fridge was loose and buzzing when stereo was on/screen over vent for fridge in floor had gaps big enuf for a large mouse to crawl in/all lock cylinders in the outside compartment doors were loose/water filter under kitchen sink is a REAL bee-atch to install/remove. Also have been waiting since endo July to get the missing manuals/warranty for some of the appliances/extras. I will say, that the Mrs. and I love the design/roominess/tow-ability/storage/two slides on this hauler, as we are planning on a trip cross country next year. Right now, it's in the factory for the second time to fix all the issues, and everyone at the Riverside factory have been super nice and helpful. Just takes a while to get in for service. We are hoping this will be the last time for warranty service, but we are very gun-shy of this rig now. Will let y'all know how the repairs go when we git-r back. Merry CHRISTmas everyone; God Bless and safe travels!
