Structure · reported Mar 17, 2023
One of the HEHR windows blew off of the motorhome while driving down I-5 in California. The window shattered. (Fortunately it did not hit the motorhome driving behind us, and fortunately we were in the right lane so it didn't hit anyone else.) We had to go two and a half months driving with no window in that place (the bedroom) - we, of course, blocked it with styrofoam, etc and good old duct tape for the rest of our trip. We checked the rest out upon stopping and there is another one that was pulling off enough that we duct-taped that all tightly so it wouldn't blow off. And at least one more…
Latches/Locks/Linkages · at 22,500 miles · reported Nov 7, 2019
I AM the owner of a 2015 fleetwood bounder 35k. I've encountered a problem with the emergency egress windows (2 of 3) in the coach, where the metal closing mechanism detaches from the window glass. The windows are manufactured by hehr and installed on numerous fleetwood rv products. Once detached, the window must be taped shut to prevent water ingress into the coach, eliminating the use of the egress window for its intended emergency exit function. This is the only solution, pending some type of repair. I've made numerous calls to various auto glass installers, fleetwood (Rev group) and an…
Unknown or Other · at 10,000 miles · reported Dec 27, 2016
The dometic wind pro 9100 awning unfolded while drive and caused 9000 thousand dollars of damage to my fleetwood bounder 35 k rv. This awning was recalled in 2013. It occurred again. The rv was traveling at 65 MPH on the korean war memorial highway in delaware, exit 136.
Electrical System · reported Jul 14, 2016
The contact owns a 2015 fleetwood bounder. Upon turning the key, the starter cranked but there was no power to the engine. The contact was in the process of having the vehicle towed when it was noticed that there was excessive fuel leaking from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that squirrels chewed the fuel lines and further testing was required to determine if they could provide a solution to prevent the failure. The dealer mentioned that the failure may have impacted the electrical system and the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and…
Seat Belts · at 7,400 miles · reported Nov 5, 2015
Drivers side seat belt shoulder harness retaining bolt became detached from the wall allowing the shoulder harness to drop to the floor. The vehicle was stopped in a rest area on interstate 35 north of austin texas. It became detached as I was putting on my seat belt. From what I can tell the retaining bolt was not torqued down. I reinstalled the bolt by hand as tight as I could get it. When I returned home the dealership picked up the motorhome for another safety related incident unrelated to the seat belt. Fleetwood has authorized transport of the vehicle from the dealership in goshen…
