NHTSA Complaint #11342450 — 2019 VANLEIGH BEACON

THE SPRING HANGERS ON VANLEIGH RVS WHOSE FRAME IS MANUFACTURED BY LIPPERT COMPONENTS BREAK DURING NORMAL USE. PLEASE FIND THE ENCLOSED PICTURES. THIS IS A LIPPERT ISSUE IN MY OPINION BUT THE UNIT AS MENTIONED IS MADE BY VANLEIGH RV. MY RV SUFFERED THIS ISSUE AND UPON A QUERY TO SEVERAL OTHER VANLEIGH RV OWNERS ITS A COMMON THEME. A QUICK REVIEW OF OTHER RV FORUMS FINDS THE SAME ISSUE AND THE FIX IS TO "BEEF UP" THE AFFECTED AREA. INFACT I WAS TOLD LIPPERT TECHS KNOW OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE A PICTURE OF A "BEEFED UP" HANGER. I SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT VANLEIGH AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. IM HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE PICTURES IF NEEDED AND PROVIDE WEBLINKS TO OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SAME LIPPERT FRAME ISSUE.
