| Description of the problem | The problem is in the rv winnebago, journey. It has a defect which could cause injury or death. The safety defect exist in one of the compartment where some of the electrical wires are. It is not tight impermeable for leaks. My rv winnebago, journey has a hydraulic leak that is coming down from bedroom slide-out and is entering in the utility compartment and satiating it with oil. Where the 50-amps connecting power cord that is connected to other electrical wires and in same compartment is the inverter charger unit that is in the same compartment where the leak is coming down. There also are electrical fuses where the fluid is coming down. This is a defect because this can cause a fire. By not having a tight impermeable leak-proof compartment for electrical wires. Especially oil that can get hot and cause a fire easily and cause death or injury. We sleep right above the compartment where a fire can start without us knowing it. This needs to be fix. S. A. P. 'thank you". |
