WINNEBAGO MINI CAMP TRAILER HAD THE FRESHWATER TANK FALL OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF IT WHEN I FILLED IT WITH WATER. THE TANK IS MOUNTED WITH METAL FRAMING AROUND THE EXTERIOR EDGES OF A PLASTIC TANK. WHICH MEANS WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK UP, THE TANK SAGS IT FALLS OUT AND IT'S ONLY HELD IN WITH SOME DUCT TAPE AND SOME INSULATION.THIS APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE OUR DEALERSHIP IS TAKING IT SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE LEFT MESSAGES WITH WINNEBAGO AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. WE WILL SEE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM. THIS IS A BRAND NEW WINNEBAGO CAMP TRAILER WE HAD IT FOR 60 DAYS.

ISSUE WITH CRACKS ON FRAME NEXT TO BOLTS. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FRAME MANUFACTURER FOR WINNEBAGO TRAVEL TRAILERS. OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE OF FRAME CRACKS NEXT TO CERTAIN FRAME BOLTS. CRACKS APPEAR TO HAVE DEVELOPED OVER TIME AND NORMAL USAGE AND NOT THE RESULT OF ANY 1 ACTION. FIRST NOTICED ON INSPECTION OF FRAME LATE APRIL. *TR*DT*JB*DT

THE FRAME HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS EXTENDING FROM WHERE THE HUCK BOLTS FASTEN THE CROSS MEMBER TO THE FRAME RAILS IN THE SECTION THAT RESIDES BETWEEN THE TANDEM AXLES. THIS HAS BEEN FOUND ON THE FRAMES OF SEVERAL OWNERS AND IS BELIEVED TO BE CAUSED BY STRESS APPLIED TO THE FRAME WHEN TURNING. CRACKS ARE ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES.*DT*JB*DT*JB

MY WIFE AND I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2019 WINNEBAGO MINNIE PLUS IN SALEM, OR. WE WERE HAVING BRAKE ISSUES WITHIN A WEEK OF TAKING DELIVERY. WE RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THE ISSUE WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY THE DEALER (ROBERSON RV). WE HAVE SINCE HAD A FAILURE WITH THE RIGHT REAR AXLE BRAKE AND A MINOR ISSUE WITH THE LEFT FRONT FWD AXLE BRAKE. THE REPAIR FACILITY WE TOOK THE RV FOR INSPECTION/REPAIR INFORMED ME IT APPEARS THAT THE REAR AXEL BRAKES WERE INTENTIONALLY DISCONNECTED. WE HAVE TRAVELED OVER 3000 MILES THE PAST 3 MONTHS USING THE HI-WAY SYSTEM AND ARE VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO BECOME AWARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
