Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
The driver side rear view mirror is useless during most of the daytime driving. It reflex objects from the right side of the vehicle and the driver cannot see what is coming up on the left. The company is aware of it and will not do anything about it. *Tr
The cabinets over the driver and passenger side of the motor home (rv). Dropped approximately 6 to12 inches. Few screws on the left side held it from dropping all the way down. It appears that the large screws missed the supports and the small screws never made it to the support. Nothing is kept in these cabinets except a few item that were put in at the factory.
