DOMETIC RV REFRIGERATOR MOD. NO. RM2852 (ALREADY UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN ID 06E076000) TO INSTALL A HEAT SHIELD, DOES NOT ADDRESS THE DEFECTIVE COIL CRACKING, ONLY JUST DIVERTS THE FLAME FRONT IF AMMONIA IS RELEASED AND CATCHES FIRE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE COIL RELEASING SO MUCH AMMONIA THAT IT IRRITATED MY EYES AND REQUIRED VENTING RV TO RID IT OF THE FUMES. FORTUNATELY REFRIGERATOR WAS IN ELECTRIC MODE, NOT GAS SO NO FIRE.

I HAVE 2004 CEDAR CREEK FIFTH WHEEL. THE BEDROOM UP FRONT HAS GLASS DOORS THAT GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR. MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON TRIP AND FELL THROUGH THE GLASS DOOR. LUCKILY HE FELL BACKWARDS AND WAS NO SERIOUSLY HURT. I FELT HE WOULD HAVE FALLEN HEAD FIRST THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I CONTACTED CEDAR CREEK AND THEY COULD CARE LESS.. THEY JUST SAID I HAD NO WARRANTY LEFT. I TOLD THEM IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE , THEY NEVER REPLIED. ALSO THE IS A BUNKHOUSE MODEL DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN IN MIND. *TR
I HAVE A CEDAR CREEK 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM A TRIP I NOTICED ALL THE WHEELS WERE TILTED INWARD AND THE TIRES WERE WORN TO THE STEEL CORE INSIDE. I CHECKED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND HE SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. I FOUND ANOTHER PERSON ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME EXACT AXLE FAILURES AND REPLACED THEM. I BELIEVE A CHECK OF COMPANY RECORDS WILL FIND MANY CASES OF OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF UNIT HAVING REPLACED THESE AXLES AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP. I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 43 YEARS AND NEVER SAW AXLES FAIL LIKE THIS. *TR
