I called winnebago owner relations dept. And informed them of the incident and that i was returning the vehicle to watts rv for repair.i was asked to have them call owner relations with the problem. I informed the service dept. That i wantedwinnebago the look at the engineering and design of the television cabinet to design a safe solution to this matter.i was informed that watts rv will decide the best solution for a permanent fix.i personally expressed my surprise that the television was not anchored to the chassis coach; it is only held in by a metal band that is bolted to the cabinet framework.this to me is inadequate and i really feel that winnebago has to reengineer the design for this problem.regardless, watts rv has ordered replacement cabinet parts, table etc. And has determined that they will add additional exterior cabinet framing pieces to prevent the television from falling out of its place.
