Example complaints
Body and structure: “Dt: while on vacation, the caller noticed that the cabinets on the camper trailer were crooked and the doors would not close. The bumper was bent and the whole frame was bent on passenger's side. The caller stated that the cabinets were a problem since purchasing the camper trailer. Dealer said they were waiting for the caller's insurance company to call them. Manufacturer had the trailer now and they found a small dent located on the passenger's rear frame. They claimed that the dent was the cause of the problem. The caller disagreed. The trailer is a Dutchmen aerolite. …”
NHTSA complaint #10134155, filed 2005-09Suspension: “I have a Dutchmen victory lane fifth wheel 2005 5 model in the spring of last year after I had the rv for one year the spring hanger that holds the leave spring on the rear axel of the rv broke while travel down the road. This year the rear leaf springs broke on the same axel. The axel and frame for this unit is made by lippert mfg. From searching the web there have been many of these issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10218433, filed 2008-02Latches, locks and linkages: “Attempted to open the door at 3:30 a.m. To let dog out, and couldn't get the door open. Had to crawl out the exit window and take the door apart to get it open. The plate on the back of the door lock mechanism distorts under pressure, causing latch bolt to catch. It then will not release and door will not open. Had to remove locking mechanism and straighten the plate - not an option if you are locked in. Also, the exit window is not big enough for a large person such as myself (6'3 tall/235 pounds) to get through and it is situated much too high on the trailer.”
