| I was checking the trailer on the morning of the 16th. upon entering the trailer about 4 ft, the trailer burst into flames, a flash explosion. the local fire dept responded while i was rushed to the hospital. i contacted the manufactor oct 22 with out satifactory results. i would liked them to check the unit but they want me to tow it to their faculity. the insurance adjuster thought it should be totaled and is unsafe to tow. i was very disappointed with their lack of concern. if this would happen again, it could be fatal. i only suffered 2nd degree burns on my face and hands because i was in the trailer about 4 ft. i would hate to know what would happen if someone was asleep in the unit and it blew. if you wish to make contact with me, please e-mail or use postal service. since the explosion, my hearing is not very good. thanks, bob. *ak | |||

| The vehicle wanders excessively to the left and right while driving, the consumer believes the weight of the engine, which is positioned in the rear of the coach, is too heavy and is causing some of the problem, the engine is a 34n which is smaller than most diesels. nlm | |||
| SUSPENSION - FRONT - SPRINGS - COIL SPRINGS | |||

| From the time i purchased my motorhome i started having problems with the suspension. i had the vehicle at my dealer twice and to freightliner (the chassis manufacturer) 4 times and was told that they had a suspension problem and that they were trying to fix it without a recall. they were never able to fix the problem which eventually got so bat that i broke the left front spring which made me run off the road and i het my head very hard on the side window and steering wheel. this is a very unsafe vehicle to drive and it is my opinion that the motorhome coach is to heavy for the chassis which results in unstable handleing which in my case could have caured a terrible accident. it was very fortunate that a bad accident did not occur when the sp[ring broke and i ran off the road. if anyone would like to discuss this incident further please feel free to gige me a call. *ak | |||
