Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When the motorhome was originally built fleetwood left the nuts for the coach to frame mount bolts loose. one bolt and nut was omitted. i complained to the selling dealer the week after the coach was purchased that there seemed to be too much noise in the coach. i was told nothing was wrong. i again complained in june that the coach seemed to noisey inside. both times i explained that it seemed as though the upper coach body was shifting while driving. when i took the coach in on july 24, 2004 the shower enclosue had warped and the noises had gotten more severe. it is at this time that it was found that the nuts were loose and one bolt was omitted. the sevice manager stated that he felt this had cause the coach floor to 'delaminate". the only provided solution was to replace the bolt and tighten the nuts. this condition was allowed to exist for 1700 miles. although my motorhome "may" be ok now, i have no way to be sure. i also am concerned how many motorhomes they may have produced with this condition. i continue to have problems with the motorhome related to "shifting" of certain components.*ak
