Hi, UPRIG. Here’s all I can find at the moment: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V637-3734.PDF and https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCAK-23V637-4260.pdf
For further information, you can contact Winnebago Customer Assistance at customercare@wgo.net or 800-537-1885 with your Winnebago Body Serial Number.
BTW, it’s kinda difficult to report more detailed information than we can find, especially when there are so many different RVs involved. Have a good afternoon/evening. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
