We are unable to read what gear it is in and some other indicators that are in the display window above steering. We also had to have the model 1200 dometic refridgerater replaced after overheating and shorted out electrical system including the reset electrical plug in bathroom and generator switch twice, because the replacement refridgerater still had the same recalled part on it, it overheated again, had to call fire department and the water heater and the microwave which are all on the same electrical breaker fried and had to be replaced

The side windows have fogged up to the point i can't see out the passenger side mirror. I have had numerous close calls trying to change lanes. I had all 13 windows replaced in 2014. Now in march 2016 they are starting to fog up again.

Drivers and passenger side windows fog and get moisture between the 2 pieces of glass which causes mineral build up thus greatly reduces visibility of mirrors. Vehicle is a class a motorhome.
