What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 holiday rambler motor home. The contact stated that the two recliners were not bolted securely in place. When the recliners were pulled out to sit on, they fell on the contact and his friend, as a result, the contact sustained back injuries that required medical attention.
Purchased holiday rambler endeavor 40e coach on 8 march 2017, on the drive from alvarado texas to little rock arkansas the generator door kept sliding out we had to stop 3 or 4 times to slide the drawer back in. Had this repaired 3 times, in the end I repaired it myself to keep the drawer from coming out.
1.) the slide outs gather water on top under the awning toppers during rain events. When the slide outs are retracted into the coach you can hear and see the water being pushed off the top. However, all of the water is not cleared from the top of the slide as one would assume.
Front of vehicle is too low causing bottoming out and damage. The low height also causes the latch from the front slide out generator compartment to come un latched with out the driver knowing. This allows the generator compartment to slide out during a slow down or stop.
