What owners report

Driving rv 35mph when rear suspension hanger springs broke on passenger side, caused rv to whip from side to side. Had no control of rv. Took to a mechanic/welder to weld hanger back. Also informed hangers not strong enough.
Leaf spring hangers are too thin and not greaseable, causing the hanger to come out of round.
Tt lp gas leak detector went off, this caused high voltage on battery charge, large crack between battery compatment and bed room which allowed gas to enter trailer.
