Example complaints
Body and structure: “The first night we brought our new camper home, we noticed water on the floor from both slides. On our first trip with some rain, we had soaked carpets & a lifting kitchen floor. Through research on the internet we have found that a large number of zepplin owners, got water damage the first time it rained with their slides open. The dealer couldn't get us in to look at it until next week. I feel that this is something that needs to be looked into due to the large number of people I have found with the same problem. …”

Low wheel well clearance. Due to possible structural instability, issue with the Zeppelin are not functioning properly. Tanks do not drain properly, electrical problems. Walls bowing. Lost weight distribution bar on right side of hitch, facing front of the unit. Possibly due to too much weight on one side, unit was pretty much empty upon return to dealer.
