NHTSA Complaint #10186206 — 2004 FOREST RIVER WILDCAT

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FOREST RIVER WILDCAT, 27 RL SE, 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. THE RV WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2006 AND SINCE THEN HE OBSERVED THAT THE ACTUAL WEIGHT WAS MORE THAN THE WEIGHT LISTED ON THE STICKER. THE PICK UP TRUCK WAS UNABLE TO TOW THE RV. THE CAB SCALES WERE ACCURATE, AND ALSO INDICATED THAT THE STICKER WEIGHT WAS INCORRECT. FOREST RIVER, THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO MAIL HIM A CHECK AND REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THE DEALER A WANTED TO SELL HIM ANOTHER RV WHICH WEIGHED LESS. AND BELIEVED THAT THE COST SHOULD BE SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN THE CONTACT, THE MANUFACTURER, AND THE DEALER. THE CONTACT CURRENTLY DID WANT TO PULL THE TRAILER BECAUSE IT WEIGHT TOO MUCH AND WAS A SAFETY RISK. *AK
