| Description of the problem | Junction electrical box not wired properly- was discovered by customer when connected to truck and blew all fuses in truck- open the junction box to discover open positive & negative wires arcing and had already melted box. This happen at the dealership where we had to take it for the issue of the camper not holding a charge when plugged in thinking maybe it was a converter issue. Dealership looked it over and said that everything was fix. My husband when to hook up to the camper when the box issue was found by us- tech was standing there and stated " i don't see how this "____" didn't burn down before now. Fuel tank not properly installed- arrived to location after hauling fuel for 3 hours into an extreme burn ban location in nw oklahoma. Tried to run generator and fueling station only to discover top of fuel holding tank was missing parts and left open so we ended up spilling fuel the whole trip on the highway. This is the very first trip this camper has taken to discover this issue - it was bought brand new. |
