What owners report

2008-01-31, Structure
THE VEHICLE IS A TRUCK CAMPER (SLIDE-IN, CABOVER TYPE). 1998 FLEETWOOD/CARIBOU 11G. THE MAIN FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE IS WOOD. THE WOOD ROTTED AROUND THE EYEBOLTS THAT SECURE IT TO THE TRUCK COMING LOOSE AND NEARLY LOSING IT FROM THE TRUCK A HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE REPLACED SOME OF THE WOOD AND I AM HAVING A MACHINE SHOP FABRICATE SOME RE-ENFORCING METAL. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND COMPENSATED FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE E-MAILED THEM AS THEY NO LONGER MAKE THIS MODEL. *TR
