Maybe the engineers did and management decided to ignore it due to "financial considerations"? This is pretty common in manufacturing from what I understand.

I'm not sure why we should care what truckers think of us. Stay out of their way, exhibit some common courtesy, and drive defensively. Beyond that, there isn't much we can do. I'm certainly not going...

The Aspect is a great motorhome. We have an older 26A, but it's well-made and easy to maintain. Winnebago make a good motorhome.

Checked the voltage today at idle, ~14.5 volts. I think I'll plan on replacing the battery next Spring. At least I know the alternator is working properly.
Thanks to all.

I didn't have that problem. My standard bug-removal procedure is to soap 'em down and let 'em sit for 5 minutes. Almost always comes off with no problem.
