NHTSA Complaint #10745566 — 2004 R-VISION TRAIL-LITE B+

WE SMELLED THE ODOR OF BURNING RUBBER/WIRE. WE LOST SIGNAL INDICATORS, BRAKE LIGHTS, BACK UP LIGHTS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKED OFF WHENEVER WE ATTEMPTED TO SIGNAL. WE CHANGED FUSES SEVERAL TIMES, HOWEVER THEY CONTINUED TO BLOW WITHIN A SHORT TIME. WE TOOK IT INTO A CAMPING WORLD FACILITY IN GEORGIA (WE WERE ON VACATION FROM SOUTH DAKOTA). THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE REWIRED. THEY GOT IT WORKING AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY. THE CAMPING WORLD COMPANY FAILED TO AFFIX THE TAIL LIGHT PROPERLY AND WE HAD TO GET IT SERVICED AGAIN IN ALABAMA. THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE SO WE HAD THEM SHIPPED TO LOUISIANA. WE DROVE WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTING TO LOUISIANA WHERE WE HAD THE RV SERVICED AGAIN. EACH SERVICE PROVIDER TOLD US THE RV WAS NOT WIRED PROPERLY, WHEN WE RETURNED HOME, WE TOOK THE RV TO A PRIVATE REPAIRMAN. HE FIXED THE RV BUT TOLD US THE RV WAS WIRED INCORRECTLY WHEN IT WAS BUILT. THE WIRES RUN ALONG THE FRAME AND ARE CUT BY THE LEAF SPRING WHENEVER WE HIT A BUMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SEVERAL REASONS: BRAKING, DIRECTION CHANGE, BACK UP. MORE SERIOUSLY WE CARRY PROPANE AND RUN ON GASOLINE. TO REWIRE THE RV WILL COST UPWARD OF $1000.00 IN ADDITION TO THE $800 WE ALREADY SPENT. WE HAVE THE BILLS WE PAID AS WELL AS THE STATEMENT WRITTEN BY THE LAST REPAIRMAN IF THAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED.
