In another forum recently there were two instances of the hood being torn off while towing. Also mentions of the hood being plastic???
ALL the body panels are plastic. As for the hood coming off - in our case it was a case of towing in a high cross-wind situation. When running at freeway speeds there is a low pressure area directly behind the motorhome. Then add in a serious cross-wind and the hood can get lifted up. I've replaced the hood latches twice, and now I just use bungee cords to secure the hood. It looks ugly, but it's a lot cheaper than buying new latches every year.
