“I have a Newmar rv and the doors on the storage areas on the sides can come open when driving done the road. One such door opened and hit a motorcycle parked on the side of the road. This could of been a death if the rider would of been on his bike. The company was informed and of course their reply was that this has not happened defore. There has been no repairs made and nothing said about a fix for this problem. These doors where in their locked position and looked at before driving.”
