What owners report
The plexiglass window on our house door for the Winnebago became dislodged while driving. According to other owners this is a widespread problem and Wimmebago is not recalling this part or offering to fix it.
Coach door plexiglass came loose and was flapping on the highway. It was removed and reglued with acrylic (?) glue by a glass shop. That later failed and the plexiglass fully detatched and fell out on a short trip. I was unable to relocate it. Safety glass was then made to fit and again glued, which has now held for over a year. I am the 2nd owner of the vehicle. The plexiglass window was original to the RV.

Retractable awning (by Carefree) has continued problems opening and closing, which can occur while the vehicle is traveling on highways, causing a potential hazard to vehicle occupants and other vehicles on the road. This problem has had a recall by Winnebago with repairs, which we have had performed, but it has not solved the problem. Neither Winnebago nor Carefree has a good solution for the problem (continued recall repairs by many other Navion owners have also been unsuccessful)and will not assist with it. There are many documented cases of this on the View/Navion Motorhomes Facebook website.
