GRAND DESIGN Complaints

WHILE CAMPING WITH THIS 5TH WHEEL CAMPER, UPON INSPECTION OF WHY THE FENDERS WERE VIBRATING SO MUCH WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, TWO OF THE BRACES WERE BROKEN AND READY TO FALL OFF. SINCE THEN I INSPECT THESE BRACES BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY ONE BREAKING OFF AND HITTING A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE WITH A BRACKET BREAKING OFF. I MENTIONED THE BRACKETS BREAKING ON A VISIT TO A DEALER. HIS REPLY WAS WE HAVE TO FIX THESE MANY TIMES. THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE BRACKET BREAKING OFF AND POSSIBLY HITTING A VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THE BRACKETS DON'T BREAK OFF IN THE DRIVEWAY.THE BRACKET IS STEEL, SHAPED LIKE A "Z", DIMENSIONS OF ABOUT 14 INCHES X 1 INCH BY ABOUT 1/8 INCH THICK. AT THE BOTTOM A SELF TAPPING SCREW IS SCREWED THROUGH THE FENDER TO THE BRACKET AND AT THE TOP ANOTHER SELF TAPPING SCREW IS SCREWED THROUGH THE BRACKET AND INTO THE FRAME. THE FLEXING IS ABSORBED BY THE SCREW AND SINCE THEY ARE HARDENED WILL BREAK. *TR

ON FRIDAY AUGUST 8TH 2014 WE STOPPED AT GOODYEAR TIRE DEALER IN MOUNT VERNON, WA. AND HAD 4 BRAND NEW GOODYEAR MARATHON TIRES ST235/80R16 TIRES INSTALLED. WE DROVE 30 MILES TO OUR RV RESORT AND PULLED IN TO OUR CAMPSITE. NOTICED THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS VERY LOW. BACKED INTO OUR SITE AND GOT SETTLED IN. THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE TIRE AGAIN AND NOTICED IT WAS COMPLETELY FLAT ALSO NOTICED THAT THREE OF THE 4 TIRES ARE ALSO FLAT. THESE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 30 MILES ON THEM. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND REQUESTED THAT THEY COME TO OUR CAMPSITE AS I HAVE NO WAY OF CHANGING THESE TIRES. WAITING FOR THEM TO SHOW UP ON MONDAY AUG. 11TH. *TR
