As with others that purchased a Shasta Airflyte Reissue, we had some recalls. I think there were two factory recalls, then quite a few items that we had jotted down over the course of our using it. Might as well get them fixed under warranty!
We dropped her off at Mount Comfort at the end of January. They knew she was coming and would be there for awhile so they were prepared. We sent our list to them, as well as a YouTube video we made as we were going through it all. It took them a good two months and we picked her up at the beginning of April.
Our list of fixes:
– front stripe “flaking”
– rear window leaking
– repair/replace warped paneling and damaged ledge under back window
– rear stripe is misaligned
– air conditioner fix
– lightbulb in handle has never worked
– water in floor when it rains (wheel well issue?)
– wheel clearance recall work
– misc water damage from window leak or floor leak issues
It was a long list, but I’m happy to report most everything was taken care of and it looks good as new! The back window is fantastic, and it’s nice for the back to have all new skin that actually repels water. The only thing Forest River didn’t sign off on was the rear stripe alignment issue. They said that because these are handmade there will be some variations. I get it, but I’m still annoyed.
They put a new silver stripe on the front and the new stripe is more industrial than the original one. I’m guessing they realized the old material wasn’t good enough, but I don’t know for sure.
The camper sits about two inches higher with the new axles, but after our wheel well clearance issue with the old ones I’m OK with that. We may move our hitch ball up to the next spot, but haven’t decided yet. The back stabilizers don’t touch the ground now so that was another thing we needed to work out. Thankfully we had some leftover flagstone that we put under there.
We got her home and moved into the back yard until our next journey. It doubles as my sewing room when we’re not traveling. Or the new dog house/shady spot, depends on who you ask.

Mind telling what they did to fix the window? Water escaping inside from the frame is a common complaint on the Airflyte. Most likely the water is entering somewhere else and merely exiting the window. If Mount Comfort has a permanent fix, many Airflyte owners would love to know it. 🙂
Hi Doug! There were two variables with the back end so I’m not 100% sure what fixed it. They replaced the back window and redid the exterior skin in the back. There was a slight gap in the panel pieces that I think may have let water travel in. But, I’m no professional so I can only say it was one of those two things. We are dry as a bone now.
Anything you have from the repair record would help those of us fighting to solve this issue. Thanks!
BTW, as a fellow Airflyte owner, I would love to see your video. 🙂
It’s pretty boring, but I’ll see if I can find it. 🙂
I’m sure you have it somewhere in this blog, but what is your limited issue number? Mine is 1144.
