2001. National motorhomes had problems years down the line from new from the fiberglass entry door battery compartments breaking loose. DO NOT just patch. Either get the compartment re fiberglassed with additional supports or make and install metal bandings or angles under the fiberglass to support and keep the rest of the compartment from breaking loose. The weight of the batteries WILL cause the compartment to break and fail with the batteries dropping to the ground. Out of warranty, before National went out of business, they had a re-engineered fiberglass box with extra supports to replace the bad existing boxes. National never warrantied the original failures as it took more than 3 or 4 years before they broke loose. Doug
