trapping occupants inside the living coach with no mechanical release and forcing an emergency window escape. This same door mechanism unlatched and swung completely open while transit on public highways, creating an extreme crash/ejection hazard. Additionally, the total electrical failure to the LP propane detector left occupants with zero protection or warning against toxic or explosive gas leaks. Has the problem been reproduced/confirmed by a dealer? Yes. All ongoing mechanical and structural failures have been thoroughly documented and confirmed across multiple repair visits by Camping World RV Sales. Furthermore, the electrical propane detector failure and structural roof compromises were explicitly reproduced and confirmed via an independent 45-point safety inspection. Has the vehicle or component been inspected...? Authorized dealer technicians have extensively inspected and documented these safety defects during multiple detentions totaling over 220 cumulative days out of service. The manufacturer (REV Group) has been formally served a legal demand letter regarding these structural and life-safety failures. Were there any warning lamps...? A chronic Chassis Check Engine Light first appeared in July 2023. However, the critical life-safety failures - the mechanical door lock trapping occupants/opening in transit and the complete power failure to the LP propane leak detector - occurred suddenly without any prior warning lamps or diagnostic symptoms.

We decided to pull over and investigate when we found a safe place to pull over on shoulder of northbound side of the 14 Freeway near Acton. It was then we noticed the damage to the storage compartment door and interior areas of coach. We...
