Example complaints

Equipment: “slide out was activated but only left hand side moved right side was bound up. The guide came apart on the right side h column and completely bound it up. It took 3 people to assist me at the campsite to force the one side back in so I could get it home without obstructing traffic. This was an end of season purchase we only used the camper on 1 trip, I calculated that we have used the slide out on this new RV a total of 13 times always following the instruction on opening and closing it. That seems like very low usage for wear and tear to be a factor. …”

Other or unknown: “I received notification from NHTSA, recall: 22V556, Canada Recall:2022-368, FR ID 51-1532 regarding the above-described vehicle. Please note that I DO NOT AND NEVER HAVE PURCHASED OR OWN THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHO OWNS IT AND WHERE TO SEND THE THREATENEING LETTER SENT TO ME BY NHTSA. OK!”

NHTSA complaint #11481845, filed 2022-08

Body and structure: “There is a bracket that welds to the frame and supports the crank for the ice house and the entire weight of the RV. there are some very questionable welds on the brackets that looks like they were blown through the metal so now that bracket is bent and unlevel and digging into the side of the fish house causing the diamond plate in the wheel house to come off and expose the insulation.”

NHTSA complaint #11595162, filed 2024-06

Electrical system: “Forest River Gray Wolf 2022, this is the third time that I have seen the same model Waaree solar controller fail on this model RV and start over charging customers batteries. This vehicle came in with its lead acid batteries over charged to 20.9 volts, identical to last time. Not sure if its widespread, but it seems to be problematic enough that I can see one fail three times in under a year.”
