2018 Fleetwood Pace ArrowFuel system

We bought this MH used; it had 10000 miles registered. We bought it in Florida and started the trip back to Tennessee. We had driven about 100 miles and the check engine warning said the DEF was low. The DEF gauge showed 8.75 gals. When I got to the truck stop I openrd the bay and the guage still showed 8.75 gal. I filled the tank and drove home. I took the MH to TAG, Jackson Tennessee and they checked the computer, it had one recall for something about the air valves which they fixed free. The other was the sensor...

board on the DEF tank was not working. They replaced the senson at a cost of $2200.00. TAG told me this was a recurring problem and they had fixed many of sensor defaults. I assume the frame manufacturer furnishes the complete assembly, the frame was a Fleetwood. This is a problem that is causing problems and the cost is way to high and will more than likely have to be replaced again.

2019 Fleetwood Pace ArrowEquipment & accessoriesCrash

While driving on [[redacted]] in Alabama, the pin attaching tow bar to receiver hitch broke appartently due to "ovaling out" of the steel hole on one side of the tow bar. The Jeep Grand Cherokee I was towing came loose as a result and was only secured by the safety chains. Both the Jeep and the RV were damaged and had to be repaired. Fortunately no one was injured but the situation could have easily turned deadly for those following me on the interstate. I reported the incident to Blue Ox and they responded...

that it was due to the wrong size pin, wrong size hitch for the receiver, or "excessive braking". The pin was the one provided by Blue Ox with the tow bar and the hitch is correctly sized according to the RV company that installed it. Therefore, they are blaming the incident on "excessive braking" which is ludicrous considering that I drive my 38 foot diesel pusher in the slow lane and never follow too closely. The steel should never be able to deform as this bar has clearly done. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
