The consumer contacted the manufacturer, and they urged him to contact the dealership that they would send out an inspector. The consumer cannot use motor home because it is a potential fire trap. The collapsing happens every time the slide out comes in each time the consumer camps. Purchased the vehicle on january 29, 2005. It is the design of the vehicle that causes this problem. *ak |
