Consumer Description
This is a 2018 Forest River Rpod RPT180 travel trailer, total about 10 trips or 4500 travel mileage. The underneath 2 support carriage beam for the whole structure buckle and bent down due to the manufacturer design/material failure. Both supporting beams above the axle buckle and the passenger side is more sever. On passenger side: there's about 4 inch drop/bent start from the axle; the rear wall frame already separated to the carriage beam; the wheel tilt in and about to loose. On driver side: there's about 1/2 inch bent down right above the axle. Inside the trailer, the wall buckle, floor buck up. At the current stage, it is not road worthy and not towable. It poses hazardous to any road user. This is an inexcusable major structure failure to design a beam not been able to carry the designated load.
