2005 Forest River Travel Trailer Other or unknown Problems

“I purchased a 2005 lexington motorhome from a dealer in san diego, california which was manufactoured by forest rive, inc. I started a trip around the country and shortly into my trip I discovered that apparently due to a design defect, under the motorhome slideout 4 holes allow carbon monoxide into the cabin. At first the carbon monoxide came from the generator exhaust but later we discovered that another vehicle parked next to the motorhome also presented a problem. Measurments of over 450ppm where registered on the co2 alarm. …”

“I purchased a Travel Trailer manufactured by Forest River on 11/10/07. This trailer specifies that the unladen vehicle weight is 3640 pounds. My tow vehicle struggles to pull this trailer. I had it the vehicle weighed on a certified public scale. The actual unladen vehicle weight of this trailer is 5036 pounds. It is apparent to me that the vehicle is labeled in error. As a result of the discrepancy I have not used the vehicle because I don't feel safe towing it with my tow vehicle.”

“The contact stated while parked in a rest area the fifth wheel collapsed around the pin box into the bed of the truck.
