WHEN CHANGING MY OIL IN THE MOTOR HOME , I WAS LOOKING AT THE COMPONETS OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE RIGHT SIDE MOTOR MOUNT WAS MISSING ONE BOLT COMPLETELY AND THE OTHER ONE WAS JUST HANGING BY A FEW THREADS. MY FAMILY AND I HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO PENNSLYVANIA , IF THE ENGINE HAD FALLEN WHILE WE WERE ON THE ROAD IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY (NEWMAR) AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE, THAT WORKHORSE, THE MANUFACTURE OF THE CHASSIS WAS. I CONTACTED WORKHORSE AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM VERY CONCERNED. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD ALREADY FIXED IT
