Diesel exhaust fumes enter our 2013 itasca meridian 34b through the rear cap, fills our closet and totally permeates the ventilating system. This leak is totally spread throughout the coach by the design of the coach's heating and ventilating systems. Winnebago ind. States that fumes can not penetrate the coach. We as owners, can confirm that hazardous exhaust is entering through the rear cap. It is a safety hazard and health risk to us. In our opinion, winnebago ind. Used flawed and biased methods of testing and declared it okay. Winnebago ind. Refuses to observe our smoke test, refuses to use no2 detectors and also refuses to authorize any further repairs. Please help. *Tt

A lot of out of pocket money was spent on tires and repairs. A picture of the last blow out is available. *Tr
