Consumer Description

Our motorhome came with an optional electric grill that is mounted on a slide in the storage compartments. While underway, the slide deployed, popping open the compartment door. The slide was then hanging out approximately 5 feet while going down the road. Thankfully someone flagged us down just before we would have struck another vehicle with the slide. Upon further investigation, the slide that the grill is mounted on has a placard stating the slide is limited to 500 pounds total weight EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. The grill is mounted at one end of the slide and is very heavy. The mechanism to secure the slide failed probably due to the slide being weighted inappropriately. Tiffin is aware of the situation and has not changed the design to a heavier slide.
