Latest Leprechaun complaints
The braking seemed weak on this RV but we had no baseline to compare it with since we purchased this one new. Three years after purchasing I was underneath the vehicle tracing a wire when I found the brake line from the brake master cylinder to the rear brakes badly crimped over a bolt in the frame. The line was almost completely closed and there were shiny grooves in it from the threads on the bolt it went over. An independent RV service shop replaced the brake line and said it looked like we had been operating on...

front brakes only. It appears when the manufacturer stretched the frame to accommodate the RV body, someone ran the brake line over the bolt instead of under it. When they tightened it down it crimped. I have the damaged line. RV going over mountain passes with no brakes.
The contact owns a 2019 Coachmen Leprechaun built on a 2018 Ford E-450 chassis. The contact stated that the window over the front cabin of the RV had detached. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

This failure has potentially fatal consequences as some may not be able to escape in case of fire or accident. As you can see in the attached picture from trimark...

on-line catalog, they already know of the problem but has not contacted of the thousands of affected vehicles. Based on the video and my background as an engineer I fully expect to be able to open the exit door sometime later today. I am concerned that not everyone may have the knowledge, tools or physical capability needed to open the exit doow as seen in the video. I would request you have trimark take action before someone dies. The consumer requested to withdraw the complaint as the failure was due to a loose screw installed by coachman and not caused by latch failure. *Js
