“In february 2016 we purchased a 2016 Salem forest camper. We only pull it less than 6 times a year (less than 161 miles each way). We were having flat tires (blow outs) on most trips causing damage underneath and damage on both sides. Prior to the blow out the camper pulls to one side making it difficult to control, you hear a pop and then less than a minute you have a tire that has peeled itself like an onion. It appears that the camper comes down onto the tires. This has happened every year we have pulled it. The last time was may 24, 2019. Consumer stated tires were purchased last year. …”
