Window crank failures
My DP (2015 Itasca Ellipse 42qd) has the small awning windows under a fixed window. There is no lock. They open and close by turning a small hand crank.
If you crank them closed too tightly, the gears in the box (maybe they're nylon or plastic) seem to strip out. Then the window just flops. I have two secured with duct tape now.
Seems like a very poor design. Am I the only one with this problem? If not, would love to hear how others have coped. Sure, I guess I can buy new cranks but if I don't find a workaround I might as well buy them by the dozen.
