Consumer Description
The main entry door is coming unlatched while driving down the highway. This condition has only worsened with time. With the latches in the locked condition, after stopping the main latch on the door has unfastened (not unlocked). The only part keeping the door closed is the deadbolt and the entry handrail. If this door was to fully open, the entry steps would then deploy and hit the highway which could result in the steps being torn away from the RV and placed into the path of any vehicle(s) that may be traveling beside/behind me. I believe that this is caused by what is becoming to be known as "Frame Flex" caused by the use of below standard manufacturing and the use of below standard materials. On the inside of the RV, there are signs that the walls have started to shift making items such as trim/cabinetry to fall or start to separate. There are also signs that there is metal to metal rubbing (chaffing) along the bottom of the walls leaving metal dust along the floor. I have tried to explain to the dealership and manufacture to no avail.
