Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Model 32h - rear of vehicle within 500 lbs maximum axle rating with no water, no gear, and 3/4 tank fuel. 100 gallon (800 lbs) water tank and almost all available storage behind rear axle. Vehicle will almost always be over rated rear axle weight when in operation. Problem corrected in 1999 model with longer wheelbase and higher rated rear axle. Recall activated for slideout models, but not standard models like mine. Fleetwood and ford notified a year ago with no action taken. No failure yet (your form will not accept zero failures), but am concerned about the future.”
