What 1995 Jayco Designer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My name is bill compton and I am a deputy with the kentucky fire marshal's office. I was dispatched to investigate the circumstances surrounding a fire in a 5th wheel camper. The 5th wheel camper was jayco designer series produced on 4-21-95 with a VIN# indications are the fire started in the refrigerator of the unit. The refrigerator was produced by norcold, model#6162 and serial#167291brbkd5. I am aware that there have been several recalls involving norcold units and felt it necessary to report the incident even though indications were that this serial number was not involved in previous recalls. My concern is that fact that there may have been other fires involving this model of product but just not enough to justify a recall presently.
Three tires had blown out in the last year. The most recent blow out was on 7/04/2003. Front and rear driver side tire blew out while driving due to tread separation. *ak *ph
The 5th wheel trailer exterior fiberglass sidings are coming apart where the siding may fall off which may cause an accident. Dealer cannot determine problem.
