Example complaints

Other or unknown: “The exterior door lock made by tri-mark broke trapping me and my family inside. The rv was parked at the time. The door lock had to be disassembled for us to be able to open the door. Had their been a fire or some other emergency this would have caused loss of life. This is a well known issue for many of their locks.”

NHTSA complaint #11130238, filed 2018-09, 8,700 miles

Latches, locks and linkages: “On september 22, 2018 I found myself trapped inside my 2016 thor ACE 30.1 motorhome. The door lever the door, which was not locked, would not open. It was obvious from the way the door level pulled that it was no longer connected to the latch. Fortunately at 73 years of age I am still agile enough to climb out the rear escape window, something that my wife due to some physical limitations could never have done. …”
