Other or unspecified, Jul 3, 2022
Vehicle is a 2022 Keystone Cougar 29RLI recreational vehicle. Safety issue is with the Solara awnings manufactured by Lippert. Awning fabric appeared to only be glued to the poly cord that secures it to the trailer. While we were setup, the awning roller fell away from the trailer. If we had been in transit, it could have hit a car in an adjacent lane, causing an accident. The rear awning is also failing but is still mostly in tact.
