Structure · reported Sep 2, 2025
The body of our class A diesel motorhome is breaking loose from the chassis. The welds on two of the back brackets that hold the body to the frame have broken loose from the frame. As I round corners, especially in round-a-bouts, there is loud banging and grinding sounds from the back of the motorhome as the body slides from side to side. If this continues it could compromise hydraulic hoses and wiring and at worst the slide far enough to cause major accident.

The problem became less frequent as we gained proficiency with latch adjustments, but never the less…

We were driving our 40 FT motorhome down highway 491 in new mexico at approximately 60 MPH heading south toward shiprock, nm, when the electrically controlled day/night shade on the windshield came crashing down onto the dash, ripping electrical wiring totally out. Unit probably weighed 10 - 12 pounds. I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle due to the shock of the incident and to realize what had just happened.
