Electrical System · reported May 1, 2024
In December 2021, we experienced a failure of the RV Mercedes Sprinter to start. After calling a mobile technician out, and upon research of similar events, it was determined that the Electronic Ignition System had failed. We had the RV towed to Mercedes Service Center in Asheville, NC where the problem was confirmed. It appears that internal windshield condensation can drain into the dash and onto the EIS module resulting in corrosion and subsequent failure. We found a service bulletin (Reference XENTRY TIPS Topic # LI54.2-N-069524; attached) describing the issue and corrective actions. This…

Carefree Awning automatic RV awning deployed while driving at 60 mph down the Highway. Awning completely separated from body of RV and large parts, including metal outer shell of awning, flew off vehicle and into lanes of traffic. All that was left of the awning was the brace arms that remained connected to vehicle (as shown in pictures attached), but were bent and sticking up into the air. This happened on May 1, 2023. After the awning, which was subject of Winnebago recall, was repaired by my RV dealer, which was supposed to have fixed the issue subject of the recall and prevent this from…

I resolved the problem by disconnecting power to the awning and then restarting it. Even though it appears to have closed properly, concerns about it opening randomly while driving have prompted me to secure it using tape and zip ties. There are numerous accounts online regarding random deployment of the awning. Because of the large size ("sail area") of the…

The issue involves the main propane hose that runs from the propane tank to the manifold on my 2021 Winnebago Navion. The Winnebago parts graphic (attached) shows the hose crossing under the RV ahead of the rear tire. On mine, the hose goes over the rear driver's tire wheel well and crossed behind the tire to the manifold. Upon arriving home and smelling propane, I discovered the hose had been severed in two in the wheel well. It appears the hose may have had sufficient slack that the tire caught it and sliced it in half. I am attaching photos and the Winnebago graphic (the arrow and wheel…
