    Serious build quality issues

    Writing to the RV manufacturers and our state and federal representatives and news outlets about all the safety and quality concerns associated with the building of all RVs would be the proper way to get our concerns some attention.

    Bent Hanger"s

    The spring hanger's sides, at the bend, become fatigued and will break off. This is not due to the weld breaking but the side metal being fatigued. This is not an uncommon problem with double/triple axle setups. A hanger that breaks need to be reinforced/boxed to reduce this fatigue breakage.

    Bighorn - Surge protector

    I had the portable EMS from Progressive. This did not protect my RV from an electrical surge of 240 volts. A dropped neutral in the power cord reel, which is after the EMS, allowed 240 volts to enter my RV and caused several thousand $$ damage. The wired my take more time but will protect more.
