I wanted to bring something to your attention, (i sent this to the manufacturer with no response) i just purchased the above camper trailer on october 3, 2020, took it to get the tires balanced on october 6, 2020, when the techstarted to balance the first tire, the tech could hear something moving inside the tire, so i asked him to take the tire off and see what it was.as you can see from the attached photos, there were several large and small pieces of stainless steel clamp material inside the tire, eating away from the tire inside out, the ss came from the tst truck tire pressure monitoring system, our first thought was that someone from the factory was just tossing the scraps from the clamps in the tire but after further investigation, it appears that the excess of the clamp, there was approximately 7.5' of scrap in each tire. This is coming from the factory like this!!the directions from the tst inside the tire system clearly states that the excess needs to be removed to prevent tire damage.this is definitely a life safety hazard that i thought that someone should know about it. I got lucky and caught it when i got my tires balanced.forest river installs these sensors in all their trailers, i cannot image how many units are on the road with this hazard inside their tires.
I was inspecting my travel trailer when i notice that my tires looked worn- i looked up my brand new information on my tires and the only matchingdot number was the spare tire in which it was the only new tire on the brand new rockwood
