Complaints
2020 WINNEBAGO VIEW
ID: 2101615UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Coach door hinge (strut) came loose on a trip from OH to main in 2023. (Wind and rain was penetrating into the coach). We feared that the door would completely blow open. We called a roadside repairman who tightened it but could not repair the strut or make the seal tight. Once returned to Ohio we took it to have it repaired- some adjustments were made however the door continues to loosen with use. Seal and strut were not working as they should. However, due to job transfer, we had to drive the RV across country from CA to OH in 2024. Due to health issues the RV has been in storage until a month ago. We then took our RV to Mesa RV in Davis, CA-Their suggested solution is that we slam the door to get a seal. We still have an ongoing concern that this may be a hazard if the door comes off while driving, as using it causes the door to rattle and loosen more. This same door also had a window recall which is not related. We feel like we are out of options.
