This vehicle was transformed into a Solis Pocket 36A motorhome by Winnebago in 2022. This, as well as many others converted by Winnebago in 2023 abs 2024 as well, contains a propane tank, heater, and 2 burner stovetop. They used Teflon tape on propane connections. This, as reported by another owner, is a safety and health issue. They should have used the yellow Teflon for propane, not the white one used in water connection. Eventually, the white weaker tape will wear and cause gad leak, which is a fire danger. And can cause health issues. This was reported by several owners on the fb group: [XXX] Winnebago had obviously made this mistake for at least 3 years! They need to issue a safety recall!

The rear backup camera does not work correctly. The picture is of the floor and not the obstacle directly behind the vehicle. Also, the grid lines that assist in parking no longer appear. Yes - this vehicle is available for inspection. It is a safety issue because I do not have a rear window and so I cannot see a person, vehicle or obstacle directly behind me when I am in reverse. I can potentially cause injury to myself or others when I am in reverse. The dealer has seen the problem but will only diagnose the problem for $150. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or anyone else. There was no warning lamp, message or other symptom prior to the failure. The failure appeared right around 36,000 miles just as it was going out of the warranty period.

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.
