Example complaints
Tires: “one of the four castle rock st205/75r14 tires mounted on my trailer blew out while driving down the highway at 55 mph. fortunately i have a dual axle trailer so the loss of one of the tires was not catastrophic. the tire that blew out was the front tire on the right side of the trailer. It looks like a belt separated and the ire blew around the circumference. I have the tire available for inspection, but intend to pursue a warranty claim for replacement with the rv manufacturer that may result in surrender of the tire. …”

This I learned from a RV tech who we called but was unable to assist us. Guest were coming into our site the next day and we had to be off the site. Luckily we were able to get slides in and get out 5th wheel back home. However, It is not safe to use, we have canceled all further trips. …”
