| Description of the problem | Our motorhome front cap moves when using the levelers. The right windshield has broken twice and the left broke while sitting in a storage lot on level ground. (levelers not extended)i informed the forestriver retail warranty people and they act as they have not heard of this problem. They told me to bring it by the shop and they would take a look at it. Only one problem. They are over 2000 miles away and the motorhome cannot be driven with broken windshields. They also said that using the automatic levelers can put a undue twist to the front cap and cause this problem. If that is the case. Why have that feature installed? This is a major manufacturer defect. It should be repaired by the manufacturer. |
