Owner report 10662270 · 2014-12-04 (December 4, 2014)
WHILE INSPECTING THE UNDERSIDE OF MY RV I DISCOVERED WHERE THE MANUFACTURER HAD ROUTED THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AROUND THE FRAME INSTEAD OF THE OPENING IN THE FRAME THAT HAD BEEN PROVIDED, (WITH A GROMMET). MY CONCERN IS THAT OVER TIME THE FRAME COULD WEAR THE INSULATION OFF THE WIRES AND SHORT OUT CAUSING A FIRE. I RETURNED THE RV TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE UNTIL THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE WIRING BUT DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD INSERT THEM HERE. *TR

WE WERE PULLING A NEW 2015 TRAVEL TRAILER THAT HAD ABOUT 250 MILES ON IT. A TIRE BLEW AND CAUSED THE TRAILER TO FISHTAIL, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE TRUCK TO FLIP AND THE TRAILER TO TURN ON ITS SIDE. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED.THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR, THE ROAD WAS NOT WET AND THERE WAS NO DEBRIS. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR, NOR OVERLOAD. SEAT BELTS AND GOD'S PROTECTION SAVED OUR LIVES.THE TIRES ON THE TRAILER WERE WEST LAKE ST/205/75/R14. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THE TIRES WERE MADE IN CHINA. WE BELIEVE THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. *TR
