We were traveling from livingston texas before leaving livingston we gased our motor home up and we begin to smell gas we traveled to san antonio texas and noticed when we filled the tank that we could smell gas looking around the motor home we saw nothing so we traveled on to el paso texas. Upon arriving in el paso we decided to fill up and then park for the evening. When i begin to fill the tank gas started spilling out. We were informed to take the vehicle to shamalay ford on le trevino drive in el paso when we took it to a ford dealer they looked and discovered that the pump was broken and that three screws were missing from the tank in fact the tank was bareley holding on. It showed that the screws were severed and the gas tank had come loose. When we were driving we had heard a noise that sounded as if something was falling inside of the motor home. The ford super duty e series has a winnebego motor home built on it. We had just filled our propane tanks and if we would have driven any further ther may have been a terrible accident. The dealer told us that ford would not pay for this because it is not listed as a complaint on recall.*ak

The passenger's side exhaust manifold on my 1997 motorhome has warped, which subsequently caused a bolt holding the manifold in place to break off. The ford dealer now repairing the vehicle said that ford has had many problems with exhasut manifolds on the 460 cid engine in motorhomes...Why no recall, why no action on this? The resulting exhaust leak clearly posed a danger to my family as we traveled in our motorhome. *ak
