| I have been dealing with poor quality from four winds international for three years. 8 months ago they swapped out my first defective product for a replacement unit. two weeks ago i was driving the replacement motorhome down the road and all of the welds that hold the propane tank in place under the coach portion of the motorhome, let go. at 50 mph i was dragging an 80# (that is capacity, not actual weight) propane tank underneath the motorhome. i feel that this is a significant defect that could have cost me my life. the manufacture does not seem too concerned. i will never put my family in this motorhome again as i don't believe any of the welds that hold the rest of the coach on the chassis are any better than the welds that failed on the propane tank. my step-father is a licensed propane technician. when i asked hit what would of happened if i: didn't have the valve shut off to the propane, the tank got squished under the rv or caught something in the road, and the results would not have been good. there is a very good chance that i would be dead. for some reason four winds international does not feel this is a critical issue. after seeing the quality on two different motorhomes i am deathly afraid of the one i own. *tr | |||
