TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 COACHMEN LEPRECHAUN MOTOR HOME. WHILE DRIVING GREATER THAN 35 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE VEHICLE MOVED FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER TOO MUCH. HE TOOK THE MOTOR HOME TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING BOX; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE COACHMEN BODY WAS TOO OVERLOADED FOR THE FRAME, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DIP DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FRAME SHOULD BE MADE WITH DIFFERENT SPECIFICATIONS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
