“The 2019 travato was built on this Ram 2500 chassis. Winnebago glued heavy, silver aluminum trim strips to the bottom of all sections of this van. We had the one on the driver's door fall off while parked in las vegas in march of 2019. We had this reattached which was covered by warranty. In november of 2019 we discovered over eight more sections coming loose and it was going to cost $1,300.00 to have them reinstalled. We were told that there was no guarantee that we would not have to have them reinstalled 4 or 5 years later. We elected to have them removed instead. …”

When it first started around July 2023 the truck had about 90k miles on it. I called the dealership, they said keep driving it till it stayed on all the time so they could track what was causing it. Well it never stays on, it is on/off at random. The random occurrence nearly caused a bad wreck while driving onto an on ramp wet road. …”
