The passenger side external mirror on the rv will not stay in place. we have now visited at least 6 authorized dealers for this problem to be resolved - one even claimed to have replaced the mirror unit. the mirror isn't able to remain in a fixed place (especially when going over periods of damaged road) and simply "rolls" to one side from its effective position. this means that you are unable to see approaching traffic on the passenger side, leading to a potential accident. *nm
