Example complaints
Body and structure: “I have a 2002 Coleman Caravan and the refrigerator in the camper started defrosting and had a strong ammonia smell inside and outside the camper. There is yellow stuff coming out in a panel in the rear of the camper and strong odor inside the camper as well. I found out about a recall on these yesterday and called and the company said the only thing they will do is pay a dealer to put a shield over the part that is cracked that the stuff leaked out from and nothing more. They said that it was a fire hazard and the shield would contain a fire to just that part and not the rest of the camper. …”
