What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Dometic refrigerator failure. Customer states that the refrigerator did not cool properly, had a smell of ammonia, and had yellow residue behind and on the sides of the unit. This was under recall and customer paid to get the problem fixed.
The 2 rear duel tires experienced tread separation from the side walls while driving. This occurred because the tires were too small and could not support the weight of the motor home. There was a recall issued on the front tires which the manufacturer replaced with larger size tires, 275/70xza1.
While driving on rough, broken interstate pavement the motorhome bounced with the front end moving up then down causing vehicle to swerve to the right, the bouncing occured often and the right front tire was making contact with the upper portion of the wheel well. Nlm
