*The large coroplast panels that line the underbelly detach and fall off while driving. These panels are very large (about 4 x 6). * These panels came off while we were towing it on the interstate and mountainous roads. They could potentially cause an accident. * The camper is set to be inspected Nov. 16th to assess why they are falling off and to order replacement panels (They are necessary to protect the wires and lines underneath from wildlife and weather and therefore will have to be replaced.) * These are just coroplast panels that are screwed in. We did not know they had come off until we reached our destination and saw some remaining panels were hanging. These were resecured with duct tape. The 2 pictures attached are from our camper. They show what the panels look like, how they are attached, and an area where some are missing.

The gas line (propane) for the rear bumper mounted BBQ grill is laid on the main support rail of the chassis of the camper. The issue is there are sharp metal tapping screws the length of the support rail and the hose is rubbing on them. This could eventually cause the hose to leak propane and possibly start a fire under the trailer.
