Example complaints
Tires: “We purchased our 5th wheel nov 4, 2012 - experienced our first tire bubble 12/10/2013; second tire bubble 12/19/2013. We had been advised by several Bighorn owners that they replaced their china tires prior to hitting the road, but casual inspection on my part indicated that the power king tires installed were sufficient for the application - I was incorrect. There are numerous posts online that these tire mfg misrepresent their tire's adequacy. …”
NHTSA complaint #10556978, filed 2013-12, 6,500 milesWheels: “Bought this camper in january of 2013 from camping world of calera alabama on way to florida .went on then back to wisconsin. Came to florida again and now on way home an hour in to trip the tire begins to fail! Looks like inner cords failing. Fortunately my son was following and warned me of what he could see happening.called sales people but were left hanging, can't believe these tires don't last more than 4000 miles and no one takes responsibility, someone could get killed .”
