LAST FEBRUARY, MY HEATER CORE LEAKED ON MY 33' 1999 WINNEBAGO CHIEFTAIN. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD A LOCAL, DEPENDABLE RV DEALER FIX THE PROBLEM. IN MARCH I HEADED OUT TO FOR ANOTHER TRIP AND AFTER APPROX 300 MILES, THE HEATER CORE LEAKED AGAIN. AFTER I GOT BACK THE RV DEALER REPLACED THE HEATER CORE AT NO COST TO ME. THE NEXT TRIP I HAD AS IN JULY, WHERE I ONLY PUT 361 MILES ON THE REPAIRED HEATER CORE BEFORE IT STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS, PETE. *AK
