2015 Forest River Salem Body and structure Problems

“June 8, 2017, we were traveling southbound on I-15 in central utah. We were traveling at or near 60 miles per hour, when the vinyl roof separated from the top front of our trailer. We immediately stopped at the 1st off ramp we could safely get too, and secured it with ropes to prevent any hazard to the public. At the time of this roof failure we had less than 900 miles of actual highway use. If we would have continued on without seeing the problem the roof could have blown completely off, possibly blinding other motorists, resulting in possible death or injury to the public. …”
