2018: “The radio (and camera system) had been acting strangely and my cigarette outlets stopped working while I was driving. I stopped for the night and had parked and connected the rv to the campground power. About 10 minutes after parking and hooking up I started trouble shooting the loss of power to the cigarette lighters. I checked the fuse and did not see any visible failure of the fuse but decided to try a brand new fuse just in case. After replacing the fuse for the cigarette lighters, a fire started in the area of the radio and cigarette lighters. …”
NHTSA complaint #11405729, filed 2021-03, 47,700 miles2016: “Passenger side windshield wiper slams down underneath the drivers side wiper causing all wiper action to cease during rainstorms. Creates a deadly issue while driving an 11 ton unit down the road.. I believe there is a design flaw with the system - too thin of a mounting plate for the wiper motor allowing too much flex which allows wiper linkage from motor to arms hang up on motor mounting bolts. I have had the vehicle at two different dealers which say they fixed it. They didn't.”
NHTSA complaint #10873730, filed 2016-06, 3,000 miles2015: “In same states it is impossible to put gas into the tank without using a funnel. This causes the gas to splash back soaking the 2 people it takes to put fuel in. The reason this happens is that there is not room for the gas nozzle to fit down into the line to the gas tank. In other states it is very difficult to get the nozzle in, but possible. When we approached thor about it they told us it was out of warranty and they would do nothing about it. We live in colorado (a difficult but not impossible state) and traveled to california (an impossible state) before we discovered this impossibility. …”
