From owner reports, verbatim
Well, they have already admitted to forgetting a weld in the aluminum framing which cause another weld to break causing a ton of other problems. They worked on it at the factory and said it was all fixed. It is not. The bolts holding the walls to the chassis on the upper deck still move up and down driving down the road and when putting the front landing gear down. We continuously have to reseal due to flexing and now the back wall is starting to separate from the rest of the unit at the floor which sunlight can be seen through it from inside. Also the Magic Chef oven glass door shattered and the Furrion fridge stopped working. But my main concern is the fact that the wall is literally pulling away from the body.
I have a [XXX] . VIN is [XXX] but doesn’t pull anything up when searched. I tried calling to report my concern but I am now making another complaint as what the call taker typed, is not even close to what I reported. There was a missing weld in the aluminum framing which caused another weld to break causing the body to move independently from the frame causing it to literally start to fall apart. After “being repaired” by East to West, the body is still moving independently from the frame which can be seen where the bolts holding the body to the chassis are moving up and down. This movement of the bolts happens when going hitched and putting the landing gear up and down which means it’s also happening when driving down the road. I would attach a video of the bolts moving but am unable to submit videos. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
