WOBBLE AT AROUND 30MPH. IT IS A ITASCA RV ON A RAM PROMASTER. CHRYSLER & WINNEBAGO HAVE BEEN THROWING US BACK & FORTH SINCE NOV. 2014. EACH OF THEM SAY IT IS THE FAULT OF THE OTHER. *TR

THIS VAN IS A DIESEL VAN WITH AND AUTOMATIC MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND HAS NO PARK FOR THE TRANSMISSION SO THE ONLY PARKING SYSTEM IS THE HAND BRAKE. YOU CANNOT SHUT OF THE VAN AND PUT IT IN GEAR TO STOP IT AS IT WILL STILL ROLL, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE FROM ROLLING IS THE HAND BRAKE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE FIRST DROPPED BELOW 30 DEGREES THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN SET WILL NOT RELEASE. THIS IS NOT ALL BECAUSE NOW THE PARKING BRAKE WILL LOCK UP WHEN YOU TRY TO BACK UP EVEN WHEN NOT ENGAGED AND WILL NOT KEEP THE VAN FROM ROLLING EVEN ON A MINOR SLOPE. NOW THE BRAKE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL EVEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY CANT FIX IT. THIS IN ITSELF IS DANGEROUS BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NO WAY TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE FAILS UNLIKE A TYPICAL MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHERE YOU CAN AT LEAST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN GET BY GOVERNMENT SAFETY STANDARDS!!!!! *JS

MY RAM PROMASTER BASED CLASS C RV HAS A DOOR STICKER THAT SAYS NOT TO EXCEED 9350 LB GVWR. DYNAMAX ALSO PLACED A STICKER WITH DRY WEIGHT 8024 LB, CARGO CAPACITY 1108 LB. THE DEALER FILLED GAS, PROPANE, AND WATER WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I WENT TO DOT SCALE FRONT AXLE 3540 LB + REAR AXLE 5220 LB = 8760 LB WHICH IS LESS THAN 9350 LB GVWR. MY PROBLEM IS MY WET WEIGHT WITH NO CARGO IS ONLY 60 LB LESS THAN 5291 LB RAWR. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY CARRY 5 - 150 LB PASSENGERS OR ADD ANY CARGO WEIGHT TO THE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS OR CABINETS UNLESS ALL PASSENGERS SIT ON THE FRONT AXLE? THEY MAY BE ABLE TO SIT IN THE 4 BELTED SEATS IN THE BACK IF I DUMP ALL WATER, PROPANE, AND GAS BEFORE DRIVING? ALSO, WHEN I CALLED DYNAMAX THEY SAID THEY WEIGHED THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WEIGHT WAS 2565 LB ONLY 80 LB LESS THAN 2645 LB = RAWR/2. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE MET RAWR DRY AT THE FACTORY WHEN I ADD GAS, PROPANE, WATER, PASSENGERS AND MINIMAL CARGO LIKE CLOTHES, KITCHEN POTS, FOOD THERE IS NOWAY I CAN KEEP WEIGHT UNDER RAWR AND ESPECIALLY RIGHT REAR TIRE LOAD RATING. HOW MUCH WOULD YOU SAY IT IS OK TO EXCEED TIRE LOAD RATING OR RAWR? *TR
