Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Fleetwood Wilderness 5th wheel main frame was failing. While the consumer was checking the rv's tire pressure he noticed that the frame was failing on the left rear spring bracket. The bracket itself was in tact but the frame flange itself had broken from the vertical portion of the frame (the weld did not fail). The repair shop also indicated that there were additional cracks in the frame.”

NHTSA complaint #10137718, filed 2005-09

“Excessive flexing and twisting of the main rails that support the fifth wheel travel trailer, caused breakage of the support shackles, tire wear and stress cracks.”

NHTSA complaint #10239950, filed 2008-08

“The contact stated the trailer was towing crooked. Once at the contact's residence, the contact noticed the gap between the axles were different. Then, upon inspection of the underside of the frame, the shackle was hanging from the frame. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop where iron welds were welded. The shop also found at least six more cracks in the frame. The manufacturer was alerted. Updated 11/30/06.”
