What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
As a result of the failure, the contact could see the road below. The RV was taken to an independent mechanic, who was unable to provide a specific diagnosis but determined that the floorboard had become detached from the RV. The RV was repaired, but the failure reoccurred.
The wall and floor has repeatedly separated from the chassis to the point light shows between the wall and floor and the dash moves up and down uncontrollably. Fleetwood did attempt to repair the problem under warranty but the fix was inadequate and the problem continues to surface.
