HOWEVER, 4 MONTHS LATER, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOW OUT ON THE LEFT REAR INSIDE TIRE, WHICH CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO 2 LOWER BASEMENT COMPARTMENTS, CABLES, ELECTRICAL HOOK-UPS, ETC.

SMELLED GAS FUMES INSIDE THE MOTORHOME WHEN PARKED. TRACED THE SMELL TO THE GENERATOR AND FOUND GAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL INLET LINE INTO THE FUEL FILTER INSIDE THE GENERATOR.

TOOK THE MOTORHOME TO PENDLETON (100 MILES EACH WAY) FOR NEEDED REPAIR. *JBTHEY FOUND THAT IT WAS NOT THE GENERATOR BUT HOW WINNEBAGO HAD HOOKED THE FUEL LINE INTO THE GENERATOR (PROBABLY AT THE FACTORY). WINNEBAGO HAS USED TWO BRASS FITTINGS ABOUT 2" INCHES LONG COUPLED BY A BRASS FITTING. THE COUPLER HAD WORKED LOOSE AND GAS WAS LEAKING FROM THAT FITTING. CUMINS REPLACED THE TWO BRASS FITTI
ON 3/18/04 ENROUTE FROM KANSAS TO BRANSON MO, MY 2003 RIALTA DEAD STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. 4 OF 6 BOLTS IN THE AXLE HAD FALLEN OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE WINNEBAGO ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY PROBLEM, THAT HAD I NOT BEEN ON A BACK HIGHWAY, COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF MY FAMILY. I FEEL A RECALL IS DEEMED ON THE VW EUROVANS THAT WINNEBAGO UTILIZES FOR THESE MOTORHOMES. *JB
