Example complaints
Suspension: “We were driving on us 64 in columbia, north carolina. Our son was following behind us when my son noticed smoke coming from under our 2005, regal Prowler fifth wheel. When my husband pulled over and inspected our rv, he saw that two of the shock mount welds broke off from the frame of the rv. One of the mounts dug into the tire. Luckily for us our son noticed the smoke, otherwise we would have surely had a blowout.”
