1. The diagonal corner cabinet near the slider had the habit of flying open when the vehicle brakes were applied. After I saw that the door was getting cracked I replaced the friction catch with an earthquake catch (and also glued the crack in the door). No further door flying open. The catch I used is a push-to-open;push-to-close catch.
2. The electric sofa had rods sticking out in the seat part and in the bottom part. I discovered it when I noticed a rod protruding through the front of the seat -- right through the fabric. It was still under warranty so the service shop (Gleason's Salinas RV) cut off the excess rod (it was a faulty construction) and filed the end and then took it to an upholstery shop to have the hole in the fabric repaired. Leisure Travel would have replaced the sofa but I thought that was excessive.
3. Some folks have had the drawer guide (that keeps the drawer aligned with the center runner) on one or more of the kitchen drawers break. They have invented various fixes (see the Yahoo! Free Spirit group).
4. Sometimes overhead cabinet doors will open (on turns or really bumpy roads) and the contents spill out. I got some elastic mesh and put in some eye-bolts to hook it to.
