THE VEHICLE IS A WINNEBAGO SOLIS (CLASS B RV) THAT'S BUILT ON THE DODGE RAM CHASSIS. WE ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS, AS ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS I KNOW WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL RV. WINNEBAGO HAS ADDED TWO BENCH SEATS WITH 3-POINT SEAT BELTS. THE SEATS ARE MADE BY A COMPANY CALLED FREEDMAN. IN OUR CASE, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON A SLOPE, THE SEAT BELTS FOR THE FREEDMAN BENCH SEAT BECOME STUCK AND CANNOT BE PULLED OUT, SO THE PASSENGER CANNOT BUCKLE IN. WE HAD THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT WITH BUCKLE/HOUSING REPLACED BY A BODY SHOP WITH WINNEBAGO'S APPROVAL; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE BODY SHOP HAD TAKEN APART THE OLD SEAT BELT AND NOTED THAT THERE IS A LEVELING MECHANISM THAT'S VERY SENSITIVE. WHEN IT'S NOT LEVEL, THE SEAT BELT LOCKS UP. THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS WHEN THE VAN IS PARKED ON A SLOPE -- THE MECHANISM LOCKS UP, SO THE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE BACK SEATS (IN OUR CASE MY CHILD) CANNOT PULL THE SEAT BELTS OUT TO BUCKLE HIMSELF.
