Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The Lippert front Slide system allows the "slide out" to come out all on it's own. This action allows the "slide out" to come 6-7 inches out away from the body of the motorhome. This is a major safety problem when this occurs while the motorhome is traveling down the highway. I'm aware of at least 50 other owners of 2021/2022 Tiffin Open Road that are experiencing this issue. I have not had the problem confirmed by a dealer since the closest dealer to me is over 300 miles away and it's not safe to drive it with the "slide out" coming out on it's own. There was no warning or any indication that this was going to happen other then other owners of the same motorhome informing me to be on the lookout for this to happen. When I put my motorhome into winter storage last nov, 1st 2021 there were no issues. When I went to take it out of storage last week, the problem was there. I retract the "slide out" and within a day or two, it creeps back out on it's own.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Both the passenger side and drivers side "Slide" creep out about 3" to 6". This happens when RV is parked as well as traveling. On our way back from Hilton Head Island, SC to Williamsburg, VA I had to stop 4 times to pull the slides back in. they creeped out at least 6"! I have taken our Tiffin to the selling dealer several times so they can repair this issue. I am told that both Tiffin and Lippert (who makes the hydraulic system) are aware of the issue but there is not fix at this time. Our selling dealer has replaced (under warranty) the hydraulic pump, the solenoid valves, and hydraulic rams but issue is still present.

Potential Consequences:
The 2022 Open Road RV has hydraulic slides and jacks manufactured by Lippert (owned by LCI). Since taking delivery of the RV in August 2021 we have had issues with the hydraulic slide "creeping out". This means that when the slide is closed, it should stay closed until you extend it. The slide extends on its own - even while driving down the highway. We are at the Tiffin RV Service Center to have the problem resolved. I was told by the Tiffin technician that there is currently no fix for the problem and that the Lippert engineers are working on it. I called Lippert customer service and they gave me a case number and told me to have the service technician call them. They offered no solution to the problem. The slides opening on their own while driving down the road is hazardous to us and other vehicles on the road.

Potential Consequences:
The Lippert slides which are normally expanded for use when the vehicle is parked for camping and then retracted when driving, move out and expand on their own while the motorhome is being driven down the road and when it is just parked in storage. Our motorhome has been in the Tiffin repair shop to address the defective slide in February. We were told it was repaired and the issue continued after coming to pick up the vehicle on March 20 with the slide expanding outward about 6 inches in just a few hours. This presents a safety issue when the vehicle is driven as the slide will expand on its own with the driver having no way to control the expansion and keep the slide from moving outward on its own. Our greatest concern is for the safety of the motorhome passengers with unstable parts and the cars/vehicles in the lanes next to the motorhome when the slides expand randomly while traveling. There is no warning light and no way to know how far the slide may expand. We have read 100s of posts online from owners of 2022 Tiffin motorhomes who have the same issue and have yet to be given a permanent solution to the slides expanding on their own. Lippert needs to provide a permanent and safe solution to the defective slides for the safety of all considered. The attached pictures include before and after pictures to show how much the slide moved in just a couple of hours while parked.

We were told it was repaired and the issue continued after coming to pick up the vehicle on March 20 with the slide expanding outward about 6 inches in just a few hours. This presents a safety issue when the vehicle is driven as the slide will expand on its own with the driver having no way to control the expansion and keep the slide from moving outward on its own. Our greatest concern is for the safety of the motorhome passengers with unstable parts and the cars/vehicles in the lanes next to the motorhome when the slides expand randomly while traveling. There is no warning light and no way to know how far the slide may expand. We have read 100s of posts online from owners of 2022 Tiffin motorhomes who have the same issue and have yet to be given a permanent solution to the slides expanding on their own. Lippert needs to provide a permanent and safe solution to the defective slides for the safety of all considered. The attached pictures include before and after pictures to show how much the slide moved in just a couple of hours while parked.
Additional Notes:
The Lippert slides which are normally expanded for use when the vehicle is parked for camping and then retracted when driving, move out and expand on their own while the motorhome is being driven down the road and when it is just parked in storage. Our motorhome has been in the Tiffin repair shop to address the defective slide in February.
