Winnebago ERA problems and owner complaints

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM". I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW DUAL-WHEELED-AXLE (I.E., 4 WHEELS ON ONE AXLE) RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN TWO STAGES BY TWO SEPARATE WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURERS. THE CHASSIS WAS MANUFACTURED BY MERCEDES-BENZ AS A MODEL SPRINTER 3500 HAVING A 11,030 LBS GVWR. THE SECOND MANUFACTURER WAS WINNEBAGO WHO MODIFIED THE CHASSIS TO EQUIP THE UNIT AS THEIR 2013 WINNEBAGO MODEL ERA 170A CLASS B RV.

We experienced the collapse of the overhead storage compartment on a drive home from the West Coast on 27 August 2023 while driving 75 MPH. It was extremely fortunate that the shelf fell backwards dumping the contents on our sleeping dog. Had the shelf fell forward, it would have totally blocked the driver's vision in heavy, high speed traffic.
