IllustrationI leveled my RV and noticed that when the unit is on Jack’s it causes the tops of the front windows to bulge away from body.

WINDSHIELD MIGRATES OUT OF THE FRAME DURING NORMAL USE. WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED IN TEXAS. A MONTH LATER AN ANGLE BRACKET WAS MOUNTED TO THE INSIDE MIDDLE OF THE DASH TO PREVENT FURTHER MIGRATION OF WINDSHIELD IN CALIFORNIA. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE FRONT "CAP" OF THE ROOF DEVELOPED A "LEAK" WHICH WAS "PAST" THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY AND REPAIRED FOR APPROX. $2000. I DROVE RV FOR 650 MILES TO IDAHO. THE FIRST FALL THE FRONT "CAP" LEAKED YET AGAIN. DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR FOR FREE. I PLACED A TARP OVER IT FOR THE WINTER. MY WIFE HAD SURGERY WHICH TOOK ALL MY TIME. THIS SUMMER I NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD MIGRATED OUT OF THE FRAME . THIS TIME IT WAS THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD PROBABLY DUE TO THE "ANGLE BRACKET" ON THE BOTTOM WHICH STOPPED THE MIGRATION OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THAT LOCATION. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD A "FIX". THE RV HAS TO BE TRANSPORTED TO INDIANA AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AT NO CHARGE. I EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER WARRANTY REPRESENTATIVE OF RORESTRIVER THAT I AM IN NO POSITION TO DELIVER THE RV TO INDIANA. I HAD A INJURY THAT DISABLED ME FROM "WORKING" THE REST OF MY LIFE. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES. I NOW LIVE ON DISABILITY PAYMENTS AND FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SET ASIDE THE REQUIRED EXPENSES TO MAKE SUCH A TRIP. *JB
