“Bought this unit in november 2017. By february it was hard to drive, fishtailing and swaying. Took it to the dealer, said everything (including axle) was fine. Drove to wyoming in april, swayed a lot. Moved as much weight forward as possible. Parked it for a few months. Drove again in july and nearly flipped on i90. Dropped it at an alignment shop in mt where they told us the frame was totally bent, messed up and the axle was way too small for the rig. Ended up also having a flat leaf spring and a broken support member. …”

I had sent this topic to Forest River personnel previously.”
