What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
A fire was put out at scene pretty quickly. I was told a bad wheel bearing caused the problem. We were given a new coach (same model) after 5 weeks of arguing. The new coach had the transmission blow up after we drove it 81 miles.
No unusual circumstances. Clear dry pavement. Ny thruway. Sudden complete tread separation on right inside dual tire. Significant damage to cargo compartment behind the wheel well. Destroyed tailpipe hanger bracket. Dented bottom of cargo bin door.replaced tailpipe hanger bracket.
As most of our camping trips are dry camping (no electrical hookups), we rely on lp gas to run the refrigerator and are concerned that our family was placed in serious danger of fire with no attempts by the manufacturer to notify us so that we could have had it repaired before it damaged the entire cooling system.
While traveling from ga to tx noticed heavy vibration under floor of kitchen area of vehicle. Worse by the time we reached tx. Found out it was the drive shaft. Had it repaired. Drove to las cruces, nm. Vibration still there. Had another drive shaft installed. Vibration still occurring.
This pretains to camping trailers. Thor manufacturer creates dutchmen 5th wheel trailers. My girlfreind and I purchased a new dutchmen/victory lane 35ft 5th wheel toy hauler and the axles are mounted off center. This makes the tires face at an angle and the trailer does not track correctly.
Letter forth coming with pictures. Loose gas filler pipe installation.
