Complaint excerpts
The 5 most recent complaints with a narrative. Names, emails, phone numbers, VINs and addresses are removed. Reports are unverified. NHTSA record set for this vehicle (JSON).
The contact owns a 2018 Winnebago Minnie Trailer. The contact stated that upon further inspection at the local dealer, it was noticed that both sides of the frame were fractured above the axles. In addition, the contact was sent a repair kit from the frame manufacturer. The trailer was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,600.
Component is the RV door latch manufactured by TriMark model no. t507. The failure of this lock was that when inside the vehicle the plunger does not fully retract allowing the door to open. If you go on YouTube and search TriMark RV lock repair you will see the multiple failures of not being able to enter/exit the vehicle.

****NOTE - NEED MORE INFORMATION, REQUESTED THE VIN ON 4/24/2018**** BED FRAME SUPPORT FAILURE. FLIMSY CONSTRUCTION ALLOWED BED FRAME WOODEN MEMBERS TO CRACK AND CAUSE SUPPORT FAILURE.

THIS TRAILER WAS NEVER USED, AND THUS HAPPENED WHILE MAKING UP THE BED WITH SHEETS AND BLANKETS WHILE ON TOP OF THE MATTRESS. *TT *TR
