2018: “On 27-apr-2018 I purchased a new Flagstaff 832okbs. The tires on this travel trailer were castle rock (lions head tires) st22575r15 load range e 10 ply tires. On the first day of a recent trip, about 28 miles from home, the right rear tire on the travel trailer exploded. I pulled off the road to assess the problem and could not believe the condition of the tire and the damage to the fender area of the trailer. …”
NHTSA complaint #11286292, filed 2019-12, 5,000 miles2019: “. The stabilizing jacks are definitely just for stabilizing. We thought they would take the load of the rv. 4 jacks to support 1 rv. The warning on the jacks is located on the topside of the jack, so a clueless, new rv owner would not see them until the jacks are down. Also the documentation does not say the jacks are not load bearing. My only experience with a screw jack is from my car and changing a tire. Long story short, we bent 2 of the 4 jacks b/c we thought they could take the rv load to level the rv on un-even ground. Luckily no one was hurt and no other damage.”
