Hello,
I am Brian from Arizona. We have a 2022 Alliance Valor 43V13 we bought brand new from JR Motors in Lake Havasu in March ’22. And, we’ve had problems with heat since day one.
Right after purchase we took the rig to Vegas for a month-long series of industry tradeshows and were in an RV park. The overnight lows were in the 40’s so we lit off the heater. It’d run for ~10 minutes and shutdown. Our local Havasu dealer said there was nothing they could do until we brought it, but we were there for a month. A local Las Vegas Alliance dealer said they didn’t have the capacity to service it as they were too busy servicing the units they’d sold. As a last resort we called a mobile mechanic and $500 later, the exhaust vents on the heater were never uncapped or hooked up. But, we had good heat.
We brought the unit back from Vegas mid-May and took it into the dealer for other problems, got it back and it sat for a month before we took it to Southern California for another ten-day event in late June. Even in that climate the nights were cold. We had heat in the front bedroom and front bathroom but no heat from the kitchen island nor the back bathroom. And I’ve yet to determine if the vent in the stairs is a register or a return. There is no air movement in that vent at all.
Since then I’ve had the rig into the dealer three different times for no heat in the living area and generator problems and it has yet to be fixed. On this most recent visit I was told they compared my unit to another and they were identical in the way the vents worked and there was nothing more they coul do.
I’ve contacted Alliance and they’re siding with the dealer on this. I’m at a loss.
Has anyone else had these kinds of problems and if so, has anyone found a fix? Seriously, I mean we bought this RV to travel in while working as a family. My mother is 73 and I can leave her in a rig with no heat when the overnights are in the 30’s and 40’s. Just very frustrating.
My next step is to find another trailer like in in the area and go test the vents in it as well.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
