2015 Shasta Airflyte Suspension Problems

“I have had the shackle fix on my camper, but still do not have but about 1 3/4 at the top of the tire and 3/4 on the inside wall. I went to a camping park and the tire rubbed the top of the wheel well, and the inside wall. There are also rub marks on the inside wall of the tire. There is 3 3/8 before the axel would hit the frame, but only 1 3/4 above the tire. If the axel can travel 3 3/4 , so will the tire which means it is going to go thru the top of the wheel well. …”

“After arriving home from picking up the trailer I had noticed the inner driver sidewall of the tire having rub marks. After closer inspection, the tire sidewall clearance to the driver side wheel well has only 1/4 to 5/16 of clearance. The tire clearance on top is also only 1 causing rub marks on the wheel well. I called a forest river dealer to have my trailer fixed under warranty. After numerous calls, and unanswered emails my dealer told me they approved longer shackles. This however did not fix the problem. …”

“I'm concerned about the safety of several features of my brand new 2015 Shasta Airflyte travel trailer (by forest river). Based on initial inspection of interior fixtures alone, it's apparent there was not a lot of foresight when designing these, and quality control was seriously lacking. Corners were seemingly cut to save time or money on interior fixtures (I.e. A/c, wood trim, sealing of windows and other seams, + more). As a result, I'm concerned about what lies beneath the pretty surface of the trailer in its guts (frame, wheel wheels, springs, etc) and how they will hold up over time. …”

“The tongue is not properly welded to the frame causing the inside bench area to come loose from the front of the camper.there are notches in the frame where it should have been welded to the frame. If this comes apart on the road it will detach from the tongue and will cause a serious accident. This camper has had numerous recalls and just found this one!”

“The tongue of of the trailer is not welded properly to the frame. The manufacturer compromised the integrity of the frame by notching the front cross member without adding support or welding the tongue in place which has weakened the entire structure causing internal damage and placing the owner at risk when towing. This is an extreme safety hazard and must be addressed by the manufacturer.”
