Tires · at 8,000 miles · reported Mar 23, 2004
Bought a new 2000 class c motor home with firestone lt225/75r16e tires on it. With less than 10000 miles and two years old the left outside tire of my dual tires sidewall had a blow out. I purchased the exact same tire at a near by dealer and have had my motor home sitting for the last 4 months and the sidewalls of the tires even with no use are beginning to bulge and distort in color. I AM afraid to even drive it now and the one tire is now less than a year old with less than 4000 miles on it and it looks like the other tires I have that are almost 4 years old now.
Electrical System · reported Dec 12, 2000
The converter produces excessive voltage when lightly loaded, a lamp powered by the converter will become hot during over voltage and likely char or melt the fixture surrounding the lamp, the converter in the consumer's motorhome is a model 6332 made by magnetek, consumer feels that both outputs of the converter should be voltage regulated, not just the battery output.
