2015 Shasta Airflyte Wheels Problems

“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).

“We were at the mercy of a defect axel on our Shasta camper until the recall took place. Thank you NHTSA for taking a leadership role in the safety! We took our camper to our dealer in october 2015 for repair as the axel was creating issues with road handling. It took about 6 months for them to complete the warranty & recall repairs. (I.e. Axel recall) we inspected our tires when we picked up the camper and it appeared low. The dealer agent said it was ok. Upon further inspection after leaving the location we discovered that the valve stem in fact faulty. …”

“Trailer has 225-75/15 coker classic tires which are underated for the 19' model/wt. Also, tires are not trailer rated. Seems the Shasta (forest river co.) used passenger tires that are over width causing rubbing on tire side walls against the wheel well. Still currently waiting to hear back from Shasta.”
