Example complaints
Other or unknown: “When I have the air conditioner running in the travel trailer, and have the hot water heater on using propane the rv fills up with carbon monoxide. It sets off both my alarms. I had a tech look at it but could not find out where the fumes are coming in from. It looks like a design flore of the manufacturer, Forest River. So far they have been no help. The unit is stationary in an rv park.”
NHTSA complaint #10870872, filed 2016-05, 1,500 milesBody and structure: “trailer bolts and nuts dont hold trailer on and break off. Cab of trailer is moving on frame and cab can come off of frame while driving. I have several of these model trailers and they all have the same problem. In addition, ive ask other owners of these trailers and they also have the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11449862, filed 2022-02Electrical system: “Camper furrion dv3100 stereo safety hazard. The camper was stationary and in use at a nys park when the failure occurred. This radio failure resulted in one of the stereo channels outputting pure dc power to the speaker shorting the speaker out. The resulting power dissipation caused the speaker case to begin melting. If left unchecked or unattended this most likely would have resulted in a vehicle fire. Luckily for us when the failure occurs the stereo squeals like a pig so it would be shut off and we never leave our camper with accessories on. …”
