From owner reports, verbatim
THE STRUCTURE OF THIS RV DOES NOT HOLD WELL WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING. IN THE FIRST YEAR THE ENTIRE FRONT CAB HAD UNSCREWED FROM THE WALLS. NOW, THE ENTIRE FRONT HAS RATTLED AND COME SO LOOSE THAT THE PLASTIC HOLDING THE ABOVE BED FRAME IS CRACKED AND TV COMPARTMENT HAS COME OFF THE WALL. IT HAS NOW CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT FLEETWOOD REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO. THINGS ARE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY IN THE FRONT OF THIS RV. THE GASKET FOR THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS TO THE INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE. THE FLOORING HAS GAPS ALONG THE WALL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE SIDE MIRRORS COME LOOSE ALL THE TIME AND HAVE TO BE TIGHTEN WAY TOO OFTEN. UNDERSTANDABLE THAT THIS IS NOT A DIESEL COACH, BUT IT SHOULD BE HOLDING UP MUCH BETTER WITH MANY OF THESE ISSUES BEING SAFETY RELATED.
DRIVING DOWN PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE AND NOTICED INCREASE SQUEAKS AND WOBBLES ON DASH - PASSENGER SIDE DASH DROPPED MORE THEN ONE INCH. IT WAS RAINING AND WIPER BLADE POPPED OFF AND THE WINDSHIELD STARTED LEAKING. WHEN PULLED OFF ROAD NOTICED NOW THAT THE PASSENGER FOOT AREA AND INSIDE WALL NOW HAD A NOTICEABLE SEPARATION. TOOK FOR SERVICE - SELF TAPPING SCREWS (BOLTS) THAT SECURE BODY TO CHASSIS BROKE OFF. (CONCERN THESE SELF TAPPING SCREWS THAT ATTACH BODY TO CHASSIS ARE HIGH RISK FOR BREAKING OFF CAUSING A SAFETY FACTOR - YOU HAVE NO AWARENESS OF THESE TAPPING SCREWS BREAKING OFF WHICH HOLDS THE BODY, TO CHASSIS AND SUPPORTS DASH AND WINDSHIELD..VERY DANGEROUS). *TR
