Body and structure: “On july 27, we were camping at koa.

NHTSA complaint #11132761, filed 2018-10, 500 milesOther or unknown: “This 5th wheel RV has a damaged chassis such as broken structural welds and bent or twisted and/or cracked frame members. Most damage is in the pin box area and includes the structural members that support the house. Damage extends rearward to the structure that connects the pin box frame to the main frame of the trailer.. I have had this damage assessed at an RV repair shop. Their conclusion is that the only thing holding it all together is the plywood interior floor. It is therefore no longer safe to tow this trailer on the road. It has not been inspected by insurer nor manufacturer. …”
