DRIVING DOWN PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE. WHEN WE PULLED OVER AT A REST AREA, WE NOTICED THE CAMPER SITTING LOPSIDED. IT HAD BEEN SITTING LEVEL WHEN WE STARTED OUR TRIP THAT MORNING. THE FRAME WAS BENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIRE BLOW OUTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THIS CAMPER HAS ALSO HAD A HISTORY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS FOR AT LEAST TWICE. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS RESULT IN THE BATTERY BEING COMPLETELY DRAINED, DESPITE HAVING FULL CHARGE JUST HOURS PRIOR AND NOTHING BEING USED INSIDE. THE CO DETECTOR WOULD ALSO GO OFF WHEN THE BATTERIES WERE DRAINED, FORCING US TO HOOK THE CAMPER UP TO THE TOW VEHICLE FOR POWER.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
