Re: Breakdown Information
RV particulars: 03 Fleetwood Expedition 38N Driveline (Engine, Transmission): ISB, 300hp Miles: 31500 Year: 03 Break Down Description: This is a triple slide unit with the Fridge mounted to the inside of the slideout. The fridge is mounted in two places, the front top and the back bottom. The front top mount came undone, pulling the cabinet away from the wall. Effect: Cause: Poor design. Insufficient mounting hardware to handle the weight of the fridge. Outcome: This is a common problem, however, as a second owner Fleetwood will not repair it. The bid to repair to orignial specs is $1000. I am going to take it to another shop or try to find someone to create a better mounting system because I do not want this to happen again.555Views0likes0CommentsRe: Breakdown Information
RV particulars: 2003 Fleetwood Expedition 38N Driveline (Engine, Transmission): Freightliner, Cummins ISB 300hp, Allison 3000 Miles: 24500 Year: 2003 Break Down Description: Starter failed on my first trip at 24500 miles. This also happened to the original owner on his first trip. My coach has the 3rd starter in it and has less than 30k miles. Symptoms: Effect: Cause: Freightliner says failure both times was from trying to start the motor while the engine was running. Freighliner mechanic says this is common on the ISB's and that the starter is too light duty. Giant RV Murreita delivered a coach with a starter on its last leg twice... Freightliner tried to say it was driver error but so far has paid for it under warranty. Outcome:478Views0likes0Comments
