What's wrong?
The interior entryway step tread is the surface you stand on when entering or moving inside the motorhome. On 2022-2023 Holiday Rambler Invicta, Vacationer, Bounder, Fortis, and Southwind motorhomes, that tread sits over a plywood support and is supposed to stay fixed under foot traffic. It needs both secure fastening and adhesive so the step feels solid each time someone uses it.
On affected motorhomes, adhesive was missed during installation between the step tread and the plywood support. Without that bond, the tread can shift, loosen, or detach as people step on it. REV traced the issue to the installation process used on select gasoline chassis models, then updated the step assembly process and training.
What you notice is in the step itself. The tread can feel soft, loose, unstable, or move under your foot before it separates from the support below.
