I could not locate a replacement part in the area where we are camping so I decided to fix it myself. I went to the hardware store and purchased a 5/16 by 18 tap and a drill bit and a washer and a bolt. The entire lock mechanism should be reworked to prevent a possible fatality.

Ever since it was purchased new in 2021, the RV leans excessively to the passenger side even when it is unloaded and not moving. The dealer stated this is normal due to the weight distribution of the interior components. I recently noticed there are signs of the passenger side inner rear tire rubbing on a piece of chassis sheet metal, where the clearance is less than 1" on the passenger side. The same area on the driver side appears normal, with ample clearance (approximately 3-4") and no signs of tire rubbing. ...

After filling our motorhome with fuel and driving on a trip, we noticed a check engine light that came on. I noticed a smell of gas but couldn't pin point where it was coming from at that time. We ordered a code reader and it showed a large EVAP leak code which seemed to be there for a while but looked like it was cleared previously. Could still smell gas, so husband went under motorhome and smell got worse. Saw fuel leaking from filler hose that goes into fuel tank and no clamps in this particular area that was leaking fuel.
