Hi everyone. We have a 2021 Durango gold 387flf. Bought it new. Pulled it 1200 miles and discovered it had a bent axle. After getting it replaced pulled it about 1500 miles and had to replace tire due to wear., took it to different dealer and they said wrong bolts and clamps used on new axle. Was planning to travel but hasn’t worked out that way. We have been traveling between Arizona and Oklahoma to see family. Have had to replace circuit board on gas heater. Also had leak in bedroom slide out that dealer couldn’t find, ended up fixing It myself with flex seal, lol. Is this pretty typical or am I jinxed. On a side note bought a brand new Chevy Silverado 2500hd to tow it with and had engine issues for about 6 months. Bad sensors, had to have exam replaced and of course it was on back order from Chevy and they couldn’t tell me when it would be available. In mean time I would get an alert of reduced engine power and could go 30mph max, until I got code reset. Finally it was happening daily and I got my own code reader to reset it. What a mess , dealership I bought it from was sold in the mean time and wouldn’t provide me with a loaner.

All RV's have problems. Bent axles, were you over weight? The water leak, what did you find, sharing here might save someone else issues.
For the Chevy issue, can't help I'm a blue oval guy.  |

Talk about a string of bad luck! We’ve had very minor issues with our Durango D250RES. On the other hand I had to do the head gaskets on my 13 Sierra Duramax. $7k Canadian later it was done.

Welcome.
Unfortunately, this can be typical. The bent axle was probably from the driver who transported it from the factory. As to the wrong bolts, that's kind of a stretch, as the first dealer had no reason to switch the bolts (U bolts to be specific). Funny thing about circuit boards, my experience has been if they make it thru the first initial uses, they last for the life of the appliance. I can't say I am surprised the dealer couldn't find the leak. Finding and fixing leaks is and art and science, so good that you spent the time and effort to find it.
About the truck, from what I have seen on various forums this also seems to be typical, dealers flailing around, parts nowhere to be found- and this seems to apply to all of them. But I am betting you are out of the woods with the coach.

Wow! Sorry to hear about all the issues! I have a friend with a 2021 387 and he’s had a few problems but nothing like yours. Our 2021 333 on the contrary has been almost trouble free. I have no idea, however, about the truck. Haven’t owned a Chevy truck in over 30 years, but during that time I had 3 assigned to me as company vehicles, and my experience with those have kept me from being interested in owning another. Hope your luck improves!
Jay
