Motorhome

Winnebago Rialta Motor Home RV Winnebago/VW Rialta Motor Home If you plan on buying one of these, READ THIS FIRST I bought mine on 4-28-2000. So far as of May 25,2000 I haven't beenable to use it at all. On the way home from the Winnebago Dealership that I bought it from,the check engine light came on. I looked in the warranty pack that comes withthe new home and found that this was a problem for the Volkswagen people. Thewarranty states I could go to any Volkswagen dealer in the U.S. to have thewarranty repairs done. DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT!!!! I phoned all the VW dealerships in the Capital District(Albany NY) and none of them would work on the vehicle. After getting in touch with VW customer relations, the closestdealership was 125 miles away, that's a 250 mile round trip to have the problemchecked. I complained to both VW and Winnebago about this, and they just didn'tseem to care. The Winnebage stooge even told me that is not what the warrantysays, like I can't read!!!. I finally got an appointment with the VW dealer inOneonta NY (125 miles each way) on May 17, 2000, that's right, 20 days from thetime I bought the vehicle. I left the vehicle there on May 17, 2000 to have thefollowing problems fixed. Check Engine Light Engine Overheating light blinking with coolantloss in my driveway The power door locks didn't work at all Thewindshield rubber seal was coming off and inside the window the plastic waspoping off The right side running board feels and sounds like it is about tocrumble. The screen in the entrance door is coming apart Thepanels under the doors and just behind the doors had paint runs that lookedlike something my 12 year old had painted. Missing door seal near thelatch On May 22, 2000 I picked up the vehicle. The door lock wiring hadbeen burned beyond recognition, they fixed that. They replaced the O2 sensorwhich shut off the check engine light. They repaired leaking coolant lines atthe transmission. The rest of the stuff was either on order, or needed to beapproved by Winnebago. I was kind of satisfied that at least it was driveablenow. Well not quite. On the way home from the dealership, about 25 milesup the road, the check engine light came back on. We also noticed an odor and apst - pst - pst noise when we stopped for coffee. Seems like now the vehiclehas an exhaust leak, wonderbar!!!!. In the meantime I called the VW repairshopin Oneonta, and hopefully will be able to bring it back down in a week or twoto have it checked out and the other warranteed items replaced. For now it sitsin my driveway, 4 or 5 weekends gone without being able to use it. The customer relations gal at VW at least seemed to care, and did getme a VW dealer to work on it, but the winnebago people are simply fools. Theycould give a darn less about my problems. I phoned them on May 24, 2000 andasked if I could simply get a replacement vehicle (Read Lemon). The answer waswe don't replace vehicles. I now have about 500 miles on it, all driving fromthe selling dealer, and to and from the repair shop. I am now contacting alawyer concerning the lemon law. The vehicle has been basically out of servicesince the day I bought it. Counting today May 25, 2000, that's 28 days. By the way, I hold no ill against the VW dealership in Oneonta, theyhave been more than helpful in at least trying to work on the vehicle for me. Isimply dread driving all that way every time I have a warranty problem, majoror minor. I will continue the saga in the next few days, after I talk to anattorney. In the meantime, think twice about buying a Rialta. Call all your VWdealerships locally and make sure they can work on it. Get a list ofdealerships that can work on it nationwide if you plan on going anywhere otherthan to the local market. June 7, 2000 Update: VW sent a tow truck to my house on June 2nd. Thedriver never saw a Rialta before and said they would guarantee damage freetowing. He suggested it be flat bedded to the dealer, but he didn't want to doit as he thought it may be too tall for the underpasses. Hmmm I thought theywere sending a flat bed in the first place, so did VW. On June 6th they finallysent another towing company to see if they could tow it to Oneonta, N.Y. Thisguy is a heavy equipment mover, so he suggested it be put on a low boy trailer,the same type of trailer they mover heavy equipment with. The only problem is,they are too busy during the week, so they hopefully will pick it up on Fridayevening June 9th and bring it to the dealers on June 10th. Well maybe I willget to use this thing for 4th of July with much luck. In the meantime I received a list of VW dealers that will actuallyperform warranty service on the Rialta. There are only about 40 in the entireU.S. - Remember the warranty states "Any Volkswagen Dealer" This reallygives me confidence for a long trip huh?. Some states don't have any!!!. Sad thing is, if I lived in Oneonta NY, I never would have found thisout until I was in the middle of that long trip to Colorado. I bet there arequite a few owners out there who are lucky enough to be living close to aservicing VW dealer that don't know about this. All along Winnebago is the oneat fault here. June 9, 2000 - The Rialta was picked up and towed to the VW dealer inOneonta, NY June16, 2000 - Still waiting for the repairs to be made and theRialta returned to me. June 18, 2000 - Still waiting, it has been 9 days since it was towedto Oneonta, NY The saga will continue when (if) the Rialta is returned to me inrunning order. June 21, 2000 - The Rialta was delivered to my house. Everything thatwas broken, seems to be fixed. The VW Dealer in Oneonta, NY is excellent. Wehave only taken it on local trips, but the check engine light seems to bestaying off, so far. We will be taking it on a 4 day trip (about 1500 miles)next week. I just hope that if it breaks down, there will be a VW dealer thatwill work on it with a few miles (Ha Ha!!) June 25, 2000 - We decided to make the trip shorter, no confidence ingetting it repaired if had a breakdown. Put about 700 miles on it. Thank God,no breakdowns. I will keep everyone informed on a weekly basis. August 24, 2000 - Still in a holding pattern -- Went to GloucesterMA. this weekend. Checked the list of VW repair centers, but found no VW shopscapable of doing any repairs in NEW ENGLAND. So the Rialta sits in thedriveway. We took to car and stayed at a motel. We are seriously considering doing some planters and maybe some mulcharound the outside of the Rialta. What the hell, if it is going to become apermanent fixture in the driveway, we may as well make it look like it belongsthere. September, 2000 THE END !!!!! VW has refunded the entire purchase price including taxes andlicense fees and Attorney fees ..

RED HERRING | A Motor Home With a Fuel Cell Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Advanced Search -- -- Log in | Join the RH community - it's FREE -- Capital Industries Biosciences Communications Computing Energy Entertainment & Media Internet & Services Security & Defense Venture Capital Profiles Q&A Regions Briefings Metrics Research Newsletters Events RSSfeeds -- Subscribe Now Customer Service Advertisement - MARKETS - Industries A Motor Home With a Fuel Cell A fuel cell from Smart Fuel Cell is standard equipment on the Hymermobil S-class motor home. September 6, 2005 The first passenger vehicle to be sold with fuel cells is actually a gas-guzzling motor home, where the clean-power technology will be used to run TVs, lighting, and other onboard devices. Smart Fuel Cell said Tuesday that its fuel cell is standard equipment on the Hymermobil S-Class motor home, which is about 22 feet long and weighs almost 4 tons. Hymer is also offering the fuel cell as an option in its B-Class and B-Star-Line vehicles. Hymer motor homes and caravans are sold in Europe and Asia . Unlike other cells being developed for vehicles, the A50 model used in the motor home will not help to operate the motor homes and won’t affect their gas mileage. Instead, the cell will continuously recharge the battery to run onboard devices such as parking heaters, satellite and television systems, lighting, and digital gadgets. While one analyst doesn’t dispute that this is the first time a fuel cell is being shipped for commercial vehicles, he said it is not the first time a fuel cell is being used to run such devices in vehicles . ‘Every little bit helps, but it’s not propelling the vehicle.’ -Dan Benjamin, ABI Research “Every little bit helps, but it’s not propelling the vehicle,” said Dan Benjamin, a senior analyst at ABI Research. “It’s not a fuel-cell-powered vehicle, not by a long stretch.” Still, Smart Fuel Cell, a Red Herring 100 company based in Brunnthal, Germany, called this the world's first commercial fuel cell in an automotive application. The SFC A50 fuel cell was previously available as backup power for RVs and other recreational vehicles, but was not commercially integrated into a vehicle before now, the company said. “Hymer’s adoption of our fuel cells as standard equipment in the S-Class signals the beginning of a new era,” said Pieter Bots, Smart Fuel Cell’s chief marketing and sales officer. “We are extremely proud to be the first fuel cell manufacturer worldwide to finally offer a fully commercialized fuel cell to the automotive industry.” The company said fuel cells are ideal for motor homes, because they typically drive to a vacation destination and then stay put for days or weeks, often without an electrical connection. Challenges Remain Fuel cells produce power by mixing fuel with air between a reactive film membrane in an electrochemical reaction. They are eventually expected to be smaller, lighter, and up to 10 times more powerful than batteries. But the industry faces daunting challenges, including high cost, and the need for higher power density, smaller size, and infrastructure to make and distribute the new fuel. Most vehicle manufacturers have been developing hydrogen-based fuel cells, while most companies working on micro fuel cells for electronics devices have concentrated on methanol. Because size of fuel cells remains an issue, many test vehicles with fuel cells have been large, and the S-Class motor home continues that trend. The companies didn’t disclose the size of the A50. The A50 is a methanol-based fuel cell that uses 5-liter cartridges. Each cartridge provides as much power as five car batteries, and is enough to power certain systems on a motor home for four to 14 days, according to the company. Smart Fuel Cell and Hymer have worked together for three years to bring fuel cells to motor homes, and spent a lot of that time reducing the price, according to Hymer. The cartridges will cost €19.90 ($24.95), and the fuel cell itself will cost €2,999 ($ 3,742) when purchased separately or as an option. Hymer will present the fuel-cell-equipped S Class at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) 2005, or the IAA International Motor Show 2005, which begins in Frankfurt , Germany , on September 15. Smart Fuel Cell said it is currently in negotiations with “numerous potential international cooperation partners” in a wide range of automotive applications. Nearly all the major auto manufacturers are developing fuel cell vehicles. DaimlerChysler, General Motors , Toyota , and Honda are among more than a dozen already testing vehicles that would replace gasoline with hydrogen. Because of the numerous challenges, analysts have said they expect widespread use of fuel-cell vehicles to be years away.
