 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
