What owners report

My brakes started to work intermittently when trying to perform quick stops. I adjusted them, but that did not help. Sometimes only one of 4 appeared to work causing that one to lock up when trying to stop the trailer.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 audi holiday rambler trailer series 32ck2 (na). While driving 35 mph, the tire and hubcap detached from the vehicle without warning. The electronic brake warning indicated illuminated.
I have this same microwave that heartland recalled last year (before I even bought this unit)...we have experienced the microwave being on twice while unattended? We have shut the microwave off at the breaker and are not able to use it.
On 9/27/2013 I had a blow-out with a bct tk42 st225/75r15 on my 24" 5th wheel alumascape trailer. The result was a 3-4' tread separation that caused significant damage to my trailer. The tire location was at the right rear side.
We have had three wheels on our 2005 holiday rambler alumascape fifth-wheel break loose at the center portion of the wheel. These were all while we were away from home on long trips.
2004 31skt alumascape 5th wheel had tire blow out and the wrong size tires. The consumer experienced 3 tire blowouts on different occasions. The second blowout caused damaged to the trailer. The consumer stated the tread flew off.
