Owner report 11472042 · 2022-07-01 (July 1, 2022)

Without warning, this inci…

Owner report 11537947 · 2023-08-11 (August 11, 2023)

We tried to remedy this blue tooth situation before our last journey with the Camping World dealership who sold us the trailer, but it still was not connecting properly . We were put at risk and others were put at risk because the blue tooth wireless brakes were not functioning correctly. The trailer swaying into a traffic lane also put us and others at risk. The Subaru Asce…
