Mostly they are minor but occasionally a manufacturer makes a major mistake. There are also tweaks that RV owners like to make to their rigs. This area of my website details all the problems and modifications I have made to various RVs over the years.

Slide Out has Ripped the Black FabricForest River Wildcat > Problems My slide out is slightly out of adjustment on my Forest River Wildcat. It needs to move forward about 1/4 of an inch.
