Basement Floor Failure On 2013 Arctic Fox 990
I was getting ready to take a nice short weekend trip loading the camper and filled the water tank. I do this off truck and jacks down till the back step barely clears the ground. Got everything loaded and woke up early this morning to find bottom 8 inches down on the passenger side with a gaping hole exposing aluminum cross members, insulation, and the edge of a water tank. If your thinking that this guy filled the tank with he hose straight into the bung, think again. I lurk on rv.net to know better, not write this sob story. I do fill with the small hose adapter every time. I go running to stop the water when I hear it drip out. And my water here has low pressure anyway. takes about 45 minutes to fill the tanks. Should be perfect right?
Anyhow, out of service for now. Called dealer and they setup a appointment. Said it should take a couple days to get it fixed. I am half wanting to do the repair myself. Being under warranty is the only reason I am going to the dealer. Looking at the brackets AF used makes me wonder how in the heck they could have failed. They look more than sufficient to do the job. It appears the heads broke off the assembly. Also I see lots of insulation and solid looking work in the basement as well. Just my crappy luck showing it's hind end.
