Example complaints

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

“I purchased a Forest River wolf pup travel trailer july 2019. It was documented to have a 30 gal fresh water tank. After purchase I find out it has 20 gal fresh tank. The trailer weight label fixed to trailer states weight includes weight of 30 gal fresh water capacity. Based on the incorrect weight listed, I do not know actual weight of trailer making accurate loading impossible. This is a big safety issue. Contacted manufacture and they admit change in tank size but did not notify purchaser at time of sale. They state change made mid 2019. …”
