Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ref: 10042704. nvs 216 gmh. new motor home with numerous safety issues. the following items have not been fixed: alignment, travel direction (tracks to the right when going down the road), banging in the front end, electronic problems in dash, tail pipe installed incorrectly, easy chair that continuously rocks and is distracting. the following items have been repaired: hole in dust cap on left front wheel, water in left front head light, sound on back up monitor, florescent light covers falling off, broken cupboard latch, gas leak on generator, rusty lp gas lines, and clamps broken on lp gas lines. i have been trying for months to get a "new" motor home properly repaired. some of the items are appearance related but most of them are safety issues. i will enclose copies of files that include lists of issues and some things that have been done to attempt repairs. i believe this motor home should not be used for long distance travel until properly repaired. my family and friends feel i was taken advantage of. for me to get out of this situation, i will have to sell or trade to another unsuspecting consumer just as happened to me. if this had been a used motor home, i would have thought it had been in an accident. the stress to my family and me and the disappointment experienced by us and our grandchildren are indescribable. we planned on traveling to the south this winter but have decided not to chance the travel with this motor home.*ak
