Description of the problem	Purchased 2005 forest river georgetown (which turned out to be 2004 model) and took delivery in april 2005. Have had numerous problems with this rv and it has been in dealers shop 3 times for windshield replacement/repair. Windshield was also replaced 1st time in august, 2005 in owosso michigan. Other problems have been with all three slide-outs, one of which was not extending all the way and daylight could be observed at bottom. After departing dealership nov 18 and arriving at destination late in afternoon the opposite windshield fractured, cascading from top to bottom with spider cracks across and down. Now the factory, forest river expects me to bring this rv from california to indiana in the winter so they can "tear it down and find the problem". If their dealers are not able to make the repair and have admitted there is a design flaw, the 2200 mile trip in my "home" is out of the question. I have my personal property after becoming a full-time rv person. Now there have been 2 stress fractures on the drivers side and 1 on the passenger side. The driver's side also had the top of the second new window bulging out at the top of the frame and the band-aid approach was taken with this repair. This coach has also had numerous other problems indicating poor workmanship on the part of forest river along with poor quality control. I have had over 65 days in down time now since my taking possession - 65 days accumulated in less than 7 months. I see on this site that this is not the only georgetown and also on another site there have been issues with these rv's from 1999 that the factory has been aware of and apparently have done nothing. One was even repaired in ripon, ca, less than a 10 mile radius from the dealer which sold me my rv. *jb
