Dometic refrigerator model rm2852 was recalled on april 11, 2008 because of possibly starting a fire. I received a recall letter in the mail on july 31, 2008. Why did it take so long to notify me? I have a disabled son who doesn't know danger, such as fire. I have used my motorhome many times this year. This could have been avoided. These recalls which could start a fire should be told to us consumers faster than this was. This does not make me want another motorhome with dometic products. I would like to know who is responsible for this. Thank you, al schuerman *tr

There was smoke comming out from under the front of my motor home. Took to a shop where they told me that the brake calipers on both front wheels had frozen up causing everything to over heat which resulted in melting the seals for the wheel bearings letting the oil to run out. The rotors had to be mechined and he calipers were replaced with rebuilt ones. They also replaced the brake hoses.
