Fleetwood Gearbox Problems by year

Stock fuel filter leaking gas! Call for replacement and was told to get rid of the filter and replace with a fitting, because "that filter is a fire hazard." This generator is the 5500 gold that is installed in many rvs, and is made by cummings. The cummings dealer is slc, ut is the one that told me about the fire hazard. I was lucky to have found the leak before the unit caught fire with my family in it. The manual recommends using the generator while driving. I feel cummings should recall these units and fix the problem before someone is killed! *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 fleetwood gear box travel trailer.

The notice also indicated that if a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution is released in an area where gas or flames are present a fire could occur. A fleetwood dealer stated that the repair kit is only a heat shield to contain the fire and repair the crack. Dometic also stated that they would only install a heat shield to prevent a fire.

The failure and current mileages were not applicable.

I have a 38 ft 17000 lbs fifth wheel trailer toy hauler. The door that comes down in the back is separating from the trailer I can see day light through the one inch gap. The door is held on with a few bolts that are stripped. If it is not fixed and the door comes off it could cause a major problem. *Tr
