What owners report
On [XXX] I bought an RV from Camping World in CO. At the time of purchase, I was not informed that any of the tires installed on the vehicle were retread tires, nor was I told that a retread tire size 245/70R19.5 had been installed on the front steering axle of a passenger vehicle. On [XXX], while traveling from Arizona back to Colorado, the front passenger-side tire suffered a catastrophic failure when the tread separated from the tire. The failure occurred while we were descending a 6% mountain grade with 3 adults, 1 child, 2 dogs and 1 cat onboard. When the tread separated, it caused extensive damage to the RV, including destruction of the brake line, braking system, and ABS system. My bo

The contact owns a 2015 Thor Windsport RV. The contact stated while attempting to open the door, the door failed to unlock. The contact was able to open a window of the RV, and then was able to unlock the door from the inside. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 8,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 THOR WINDSPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED TO OPERATE. GENERAL RV CENTER (14000 AUTOMALL DR, HUNTLEY, IL 60142, (847) 669-5570) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. *TR*JB
IN SAME STATES IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT GAS INTO THE TANK WITHOUT USING A FUNNEL. THIS CAUSES THE GAS TO SPLASH BACK SOAKING THE 2 PEOPLE IT TAKES TO PUT FUEL IN. THE REASON THIS HAPPENS IS THAT THERE IS NOT ROOM FOR THE GAS NOZZLE TO FIT DOWN INTO THE LINE TO THE GAS TANK. IN OTHER STATES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE NOZZLE IN, BUT POSSIBLE. WHEN WE APPROACHED THOR ABOUT IT THEY TOLD US IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE LIVE IN COLORADO (A DIFFICULT BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE STATE) AND TRAVELED TO CALIFORNIA (AN IMPOSSIBLE STATE) BEFORE WE DISCOVERED THIS IMPOSSIBILITY. SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON A WARRANTY TO FIX. IT IS NOTHING THAT CAN "WEAR OUT".
