| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The 2002 winnwbag brave model 34d experienced a failure of the front attachment bracket to the liquid propane tank. the approximately 1/4 thick by 10"high bracket cracked completely and left the tank suspended by only two bolts at the rear that appeared to have been intended to stabilize the tank ,but not support the weight as they were attached to only two small tabs. this problem was discovered during maintenance to replace two of the failed stabilizer hydraulic jacks. if it had not been for this work being done i was certain one of the remaining supports would have broken while traveling and we would have been driving down the road with a pressurized tank dragging on the pavement. the thought of having this happen and the danger to all around was frightening. a call to winnebago factory service, which had a response of this was not anything we were aware off, haven't heard of it before. i stated i could email photos for their use, but they were not interested. this was a very serious problem, and owners of these motor homes should be advised to have this checked and repaired immediately. *ak |
