Motor coach trip from St Louis to Austin TX 17SEP 2021. Once parked, owner noted that inside left rear tire on driver side had no tread on it. Tires were as received when motor coach was purchased in January 2021. Owner was able to locate a tire for replacement and mobile service to mount and install.

Technician indicated that because the tire did not match the other tire next to it the tire spun, not rolled, and the tread was worn off, like a pencil eraser when it is used. Technician theorized that if the outer tire had a blowout the coach possibly could have flipped, at a highway rate of speed while also towing a vehicle. Motor coach manufacturer indicated that they receive the chassis, and that I need to contact the chassis manufacturer about the incorrect tire size. Currently attempting to retrieve that information from FORD.
The inside of our 2021 Coachmen Encore 325 SS Motorhome gets hot around the "doghouse" area on the floor. We have used a heat sensor and it registers a temperature on the floor and around the "doghouse" at 159 degrees F. Have photo of 158.3 degrees F. We have had it in for service and it has been verified as being too hot, but I don't know if the service verified the temperature. It is too hot to walk on barefoot and the 2 dogs we have stay away from the area. The unit has not been inspected by the manufacturer, etc. No warning lamps, etc, and first appeared when first used.
