What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Manufacturer defect in camper, parts of a slide mechanism are faulty that is causing the fiberglass on the side of the camper near the slide to crack on the exterior. The crack is aggressively getting worse. The side is in danger of falling out of the camper, as it currently sits.
While traveling home the right rear tire of our 3 month old camper failed. Appears the tread came off causing the tire to fail. There was significant damage to the right side of the camper. Before leaving the camp ground I visually inspected all six tires as well as check the air pressure.
