Example complaints

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

“We bought 2020 R-Pod 172 off road package travel trailer in dec of 2019 to be taken to primitive campgrounds. This is what happened to it when we took it on a 25 mile county road in montana. It was towed at a average speed of 10 to 20 miles an hour on the trip to the campground: the refrigerator broke loose from the 4 screws holding it and slide back, luckily the propane line didn't break off, also the refrigerator had been in for warranty work in january 2020 because the refrigerator was mounted in from the factory. The exit door got stuck and we had to crawl out the emergency exit window. …”
