TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 KZRV VENOM FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDE OUTS FAILED TO EXTEND AND OPEN. THE CAMPER WAS TAKEN TO LLOYD'S RV CENTER (7415 TX-62, ORANGE, TX 77632) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME WAS FLEXING. THE CAMPER WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAMPER WAS UNUSABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST.
THE 2017 K-Z VENOM 5TH WHEEL TOY HAULER HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRAME BEING WEAK AND FLEXING. I KNOW OF 3 OF THESE UNITS AT ONE SMALL DEALERSHIP IN ATHENS, TEXAS (ATHENS RV) THAT A HAVE FLEX IN THE FRAME THAT ACCORDING TO INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL SOURCES INDICATE THAT THERE IS NO FIX. THE FRAME IS MADE BY LIPPERT AND WAS ALLEGED SHORTENED WHEN THEY MADE THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. LIPPERT SENT A TECHNICIAN TO TEXAS TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED AFTER THE TRAILER WAS REASSEMBLE THAT THE FRAME WAS STILL FLEXING AFTER THE "FIX". ONE OF THE UNITS IS SO BAD THAT THE OWNERS HAVE BEEN ASKED NOT TO PICK UP THE UNIT, EVEN THOUGH THEY NEED THE TRAILER, FOR FEAR THAT THE WEAK FRAME COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TOWING. RATHER THAN REPLACE THE UNITS, AS REQUESTED BY THE DEALER, KZ CONTINUES TO SAY THE PROBLEM IS LIPPERT'S. *TT
