Example complaints
Brakes: “As I was leaving a campground brakes failed without any warning. The exit from campground was downhill and could have been disastrous. Drove next door to rv service and they checked it out and said it had to be towed to a ford dealer. The brake lines had broke.they were rusted from the outside. Ford dealer replaced 3 lines. Ford would not cover the bill of 458.56 because it was 2 months beyond warranty.the motorhome was never in snow,ice or salt water. There must have been a problem from new with the lines.”
NHTSA complaint #10526065, filed 2013-07, 20,070 milesEquipment: “Vehicle is a new Georgetown 300s motor home with a room slide out on the drivers side. Over the slide out is an awning sometimes called a topper that is rolled very compactly with a torsion spring when traveling. Under certain wind conditions (30 MPH wind from left at 60 miles per hour forward coach speed) the topper will violently unroll, impacting the motor coach cabin, and resulting with very loud wind noise that appears to be an impact with another vehicle. Stopping very quickly clears the problem yet seriously disrupts adjacent vehicles. …”
