Example complaints
Wheels: “Had a low tire on my travel trailer so I exited the highway. I got out and inspected the tire and it was almost flat so I changed it with my spare and when I pulled it off the inside of tire had rubbed all the inside tread of the tire and I inspected all the tires and they to were doing the same thing just not as bad. Forest river needs to fix this before so one is hurt or killed on the highways because of this problem.”
