Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELLING IN THE SLOW LANE OF A 4 LANE FREEWAY THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL ARCH PANEL LITERALLY BLEW OFF WITH NO WARNING, IT IS A LARGE ENOUGH FIBERGLASS PANEL AND COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED A NEARBY MOTORCYCLIST OR EVEN THE DRIVER OF A SMALL CAR TRAVELLING ALONGSIDE AT FREEWAY SPEED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT DUE TO THE POOR METHOD OF ATTACHMENT TO THE FRAME OF THE MOTORHOME, AS EVIDENCED BY THE CURRENT STATE OF THE LEFT SIDE ARCH PANEL. PLEASE HELP WITH GETTING THIS SITUATION RECTIFIED, THE MANUFACTURER HAS REBUFFED MY ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THANKS
