SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE
This complaint concerns the structural frame and chassis assembly of this fifth-wheel trailer, specifically the upper deck/front bedroom area and supporting structure. While operating the trailer within the manufacturer's published weight limits (GVWR: 20,000 lbs; Cargo Carrying Capacity: 4,258 lbs), we experienced repeated structural movement and frame flex during normal highway towing. Over time, the condition progressively worsened and resulted in movement of the upper deck structure, shifting and separation of interior walls and trim, door and frame misalignment, repeated structural popping noises while towing, visible distortion around structural components, and components shifting out of square. These symptoms were repeatable and occurred during normal use. The condition continued to worsen over the course of ownership rather than being an isolated incident. Because the structural movement involved the primary frame and load-bearing portions of the trailer, we became increasingly concerned about the structural integrity of the unit during highway travel. The repeated movement and progression of the condition caused us to lose confidence in the trailer's ability to safely withstand normal towing forces, particularly while traveling with our family. As the condition worsened, we limited towing and ultimately sought a permanent resolution from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified and inspected the trailer on multiple occasions. Repair attempts were performed; however, the structural symptoms continued to reoccur after those repairs. Ultimately, rather than continuing additional repairs, the manufacturer elected to provide a collateral exchange into a replacement trailer. The original trailer is no longer in our possession because it was exchanged with the manufacturer. However, the VIN is known. I am submitting this complaint so there is a permanent safety record associated with this VIN and so NHTSA is aware of this structural defect of this model

The contact owns a 2022 Alliance RV Valor. The contact stated that while the RV was hitched to the vehicle and traveling, the contact and her husband noticed an unusual odor. The RV was parked, and upon inspection, they observed a burned area and smoke coming from the roof-mounted solar panels. Further inspection revealed that the electrical wiring and attachments were burned and melted. Additionally, the ceiling and insulation were burned. The contact's husband disconnected all electrical appliances and wiring to prevent further damage. The burning odor was strong within the interior of the RV and caused both individuals to become nauseous from inhalation; however, no medical treatment was required. The contact stated that the RV was unsafe, and it was a known failure with the model. Both the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but the manufacturer offered no assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or a dealer. No further information was available.

Awning fabric separated and caused awning to collapse downward. If a vehicle or pedestrian had been next to the RV during this collapse fabric separation someone could have been killed or seriously injured. I am a law enforcement officer and have inspected the failure of the fabric awning. It is a serious hazard to the motoring public that was obviously not addressed fully by the previous recall because it is still happening. FDOT is also going to be notified of this potentially serious roadway hazard that has not been sufficiently addressed by RV manufactures and Lippert.

Solar panel fuse melted and caused significant electrical issues, caused the inverter to back flow and caused further damage to the inverter which wiring caught fire. See photo. Bought the RV used in 11/2023 from a used RV dealership. Dealership assured us RV passed inspection and no recalls found. A week later we started having electrical issues and loss of power randomly. RV had repair attempt at dealership on 12/2023. RV repaired and a month later problems with power loss started again, RV mechanic came out and made attempts at repairs x3. In 6/2024, loss of power issue became daily and called RV mechanic back out in which he found the burned fuses and wires. Other hot wires found and repaired by RV mechanic. Reported issues back to dealership we bought RV from with no assistance, contacted Alliance RV with no assistance as of yet, contacted remove who made the inverter with no assistance.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On Sunday, May 21st, my daughter and I were napping when they woke up to toxic smell, smelt like something electrical burning, we exited the trailer immediately. Waited for the trailer to air out some and searched down the area (the under compartment assessable from the outside of the trailer, under the master bedroom area. We saw smoke coming from a box/plate. It said transfer switch on the metal box plate. We took the plate lid off and saw melted plastic, wires arcing, and missing screws. It also had torque rating and other information regarding what it was. We found 1 screw on the floor of the under compartment. After evaluating this transfer switch, we noticed there were more missing screws then the one we found on the floor. It was obvious that it was not installed properly or finished. I spoke with one of the warranty managers at the dealer we purchased it from, said he would talk to his boss as they would be in contact with Alliance RV as they work closes with them on warranty. Since we had no power (solar, generator, or shore power) our family had no choice but to pack up belongings and find somewhere else to stay for the time being. Since this was our home while we were in transition with selling our house. The dealer worked with the manufacturer and replaced necessary parts. After this it was hard to feel safe in the trailer, knowing the trailer was not manufactured properly or didn't have quality control before leaving the manufacturer. someone didn't do their job and it could have taken our lives.

At a rest stop we noticed that the rear most axle of the 3 axles on the trailer was almost completely disconnected. The rear bolts holding the leaf spring are missing and one of the driver side U bolts is missing. The other u bolt was hanging from the axle and disconnected completely from the leaf spring. Nobody was injured and minimal damage was done to the rv.

We purchased the RV new and drive about 350 miles to pick it up. Per the original dealer when we arrived, there was an NHTSA recall on the RV for the wheel assembly and they didn't realize it until that morning after I had already driven 6 hours and paid for a hotel for the night. They said the manufacturer said it would be OK for me to tow the vehicle back to where we live and have the recall completed by a local dealer. The only local dealer for this manufacturer was Bish's in Meridian ID. I called them the day after we purchased the RV and they told us there was no recall. I called the manufacturer and they said there was a recall and sent me the paperwork for it. The paperwork specifically said that the vehicle should not be released to the customer until the recall was completed, so I'm not sure why the dealer and manufacturer had me tow it 350 miles with an obvious safety issue. I called Bish's back with the paperwork and they said there was a recall, but they wouldn't repair it since it was tire related. I was told that by 2 different ladies at Bish's. For the next several weeks I went back and forth between the manufacturer and dealer trying to get the repair completed, even going as far as calling the local tire shops to try to find one to complete the recall. None would since it was a warranty issue between the dealer and manufacturer. The tires were finally replaced after 6 weeks of back and forth, but the required safety sticker was "lost" by Bishs. It will be at least an additional 2 weeks before the sticker can be installed if they even do it, leaving us 8 weeks without use of the RV, and after being placed in a hazardous situation by the dealer and manufacturer by having an unsafe vehicle released to us to tow to a different state. The issue has still not been resolved.
