Purchased new. Towed less than 150 miles, tandem axle fifth wheel camper. Left rear axle "u" bolts were not tightened at the factory causing rear axle to shift rearward the length of the leaf spring destroying the rear axle, brake wires tore loose, "u" bolts bent beyond use, rear leaf spring and mounting pockets bent. Other secondary damage to camper. Working on having towed to nearest dealer to be repaired.this is a workmanship failure. I've seen others listed on forums by this manufacturer, appears to be a quality control trend. The accident could have lead to injuries or death. The camper shifted two feet into the lane beside me and all four tires were howling and smoking profusely. This vehicle is a 2008 forest river wildcat 31thsb. Your complaint system is out of date and it forced me to select wildwood and that's not the model.
First trip out with a 2008 forest river xlr 30x12 toyhauler and heard a loud boom. Pulled over and the right rear tire was blown. It happened at 60-65 mph on the highway. The road was smooth and i felt the brake drum to check if it was hot from maybe dragging brakes, but it was cool. The tires have under 250 miles on them. The trailer was damaged from the tread separating from the tire, and the wiring for the brakes was ripped apart on that axle. After getting the trailer home i did some research and found out that the tire was manufactured in 2004 and its installed on a 2008 trailer. I also found out the data plate on the trailer had the incorrect tire pressure and incorrect tire size, this didn't match what the trailer had for installed tires. I called forrest river and they said they would send a new data sticker but the damage to the trailer was not going to be covered, it was a tire manufacture issue. Data plate on trailer has the tires st235/80r16/d at 65 psi coldtires installed on the trailer- greenball hiway trooper lt235/85r16 lre sidewall inflation 8o psi . Tire were inflated to 65psi as recommended on the data plate. Forest river hasn't offered to cover the cost of repair or admit any wrong doing but said they will send me a new data plate sticker.
