The cargo door panel is set to fly off. The manufacturer, Newmar, is using 2 pieces of tape on the cargo bay door skin and it can fly off very easily. It's very dangerous and we are lucky we caught it before it flew off. There is another King Aire owner who warned us about it happening. His case number is 11661685.
