Damon Challenger Visibility problems by year

Windshield wipers failed in the middle of the glass during a rainstorm. Very dangerous.

This is a safety hazard on 2007 -2012 models.*Jb

Sun visors can not be reached while sitting. I have to pull over to the side of the road to adjust. At times this is real dangerious since most of the highways do not have places wide enough to allow this. This problem happens all the time, real bad when you are traveling to the west.*Ak

The consumer is concerned about the sun visors on the motor home. While driving, the driver had to unbuckle the seat belt and stand up to reach the sunvisor. Once the visor was pulled down it was too short to block the glare of the sun and as a result the driver could not see while driving. *Nm
