When filling the fresh water tank for the first time, the forward frame bracket pivoted and the tank fell to the ground. The tank broke where the fill and vent tube attach. There are no secondary retention straps. If this had happened on the highway, the tank likely would have caused severe injury or death to other vehicles following behind the trailer. Upon inspection, it appears the forward frame bracket is only held by two in-line fasteners with provisions for two other anti-rotation fasteners. These anti-rotation fasteners were not installed. Also, this design does not use retention straps as a secondary retention system.

THE RADIO SPEAKERS STOP WORKING OUTSIDE THEN THE ENTIRE RADIO DOES NOT COME ON. THE TV WAS WORKING THEN ONLY THE SOUND AND NOW IT JUST KEEPS GIVING A RUN CODE PROCESS. AND THE REFRIGERATOR ON THE INSIDE KEEPS GOING OFF AND ON FOR NO REASON. WE REPLACED THE FUSE BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED. I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL ON THIS CAMPER AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE RECALL IS AND IF THERE IS ONE. BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM OTHERS ARE HAVING AS WELL.
