What owners report
There is a electric privacy shade inside my RV for the windshield. My motor failed in the down position. I tried to get a replacement motor but none is available. I emailed the manufacturer of the shade and they gave me a replacement part number, this is where the safety issue comes in. The original motor has two memories built into it, four wires to control it.

Thor (the manufacture) has done nothing more than inform me that the warranty period for my bus has ended.

Miraculously, it landed on the side of the highway while motorists were swerving to miss the projectile. We stopped and checked all the doors including the outside kitchen, all of which are in the debonding process. We have an extended platinum RV warranty which did not cover the damaged cargo doors, as well as our RV insurance, which said it is a manufactu
