We just returned from over 30 days traveling in our 366 Durango Gold. Traveled from Montana through Canada and on to Alaska. Went over the Top of the World road to Chicken (100 miles of gravel) and traveled all over on paved, gravel and some rough road. We only had a couple of issues. The closet rod fell down and after hearing of others having issues I was very careful not to overload it. But the design only uses short screws into the top shelf, bound to fail. Reinforced it with a 2x4 from floor to rod and never had another issue. Had a couple screws come out of the valances and low and behold they had been stripped previously. Put in some screws for sheetrock and fixed that. We were prepared with two spares for truck and trailer but didn't need them. Did talk to several people that had flats, broken axles and burned wheel bearings but when you go 60 miles an hour on a gravel road, maybe that is what happens. Overall, we couldn't be happier with how our Durango held up to the challenges we put it through. We boondocked and had a sow and her three grizzly cubs walk by camp. Some of the most beautiful country and friendly people. Hope to return again!

Glad to here you had an awesome time and your Durango met your expectations. The DW and I winter in Florida for 5-6 months in our Durango and I have had issues similar to yours. My cloths rod was fixed before it had a chance to come off the wall, and I have had two window valances come loose but not fall off. My nemesis is the mirrors over the bathroom sinks, I have two and they keep falling off when attached the way the factory installs them. I finally just screwed then to the wall. Other than that there has been a few very minor but irritating things crop up. Overall and to date it has been an exceptional coach.

I just returned from a 4 1/2 month trip across the US and then to Alaska and back. Went with my 1 year old KZ 241RLLE and did not have any problems whatsoever. I started the trip with the stock Chinese bombs and never had a flat or blowout. I wanted to change out all the tires before we left but my frugal wife talked me into giving it a try. I put 2 new goodyear endurance tires on the back axle in Canada on the way back due to some uneven wear. I drove 50-60 mph and went much slower on the gravel stretches. I believe that most tire problems are caused by old tires, and driving too fast. I drove 21K miles usually driving 4-6 hours a day.
