2008 Four Winds Four Winds 32B

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FOUR WINDS 32B, MOUNTED ON A 2007 CHEVROLET 5000 SERIES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE METAL BRACKETS THAT HELD THE RV UNIT TO THE CHASSIS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RV UNIT SHIFTED AND COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

THIS IS A SUPER C CLASS 32B MOTOR HOME. THE COACH IS MOUNTED ON A GMC 5500 TRUCK CHASSIS. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY A PROFESSIONAL RV TECHNICIAN THAT ALL OF THE COACH UNDER-FLOORING METAL BRACKETS AND/OR DEVICES CONNECTING THE COACH TO THE TRUCK CHASSIS ARE EITHER BENT, TWISTED OR BROKEN, WHICH CREATES AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD THE COACH SEPARATE FROM THE TRUCK CHASSIS WHILE IN MOTION. OF THE TOTAL MILEAGE DRIVEN, APPROXIMATELY 99% WAS ON HARD TOP ROADS. THE OTHER 1% WAS ON GRAVEL OR TYPICAL CAMP GROUND ROADS. THE RV TECHNICIAN/REPAIRMAN STATES THAT THIS DEFECT IS DUE TO MANUFACTURING AND/OR DESIGN DEFECTS. HE STATES THAT NEITHER HE NOR HIS LEAD TECHNICIAN HAVE EVER SEEN A FAILURE SUCH AS THIS. PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. IN LAST TWO WEEKS NEITHER HE NOR I HAVE RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM FOUR WINDS. *TR
