In owners' words

What Riverstone owners report

Recent unknown or other complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

The plate that holds the wiring guide to the outside edge of the off door slide is too long. This is causing the plate to slice into the tire as the tire moves upward in its range of motion during travel. Luckily, I caught this before the tires blew and could have caused a major accident.
