Consumer Description

We bought this towable (5th wheel) RV in January 2021, new from Funtown RV in Denton, TX. Since the day we took deleivery, we have experienced a severe lack of braking ability from the RV brakes. We have had them services multiple times, and ultimately, the final RVIA certified repair facilities conclude that the trailer is just too heavy for the brakes they manufactured it with. They sell thousands of these trailers and they are a sincere danger to the motoring public if they have no ability to brake themselves. If the trailer became disconnected fromt he tow vehicle, the trailer brakes would serve little or no purpose in slowing the trailer. I would suggest that Lippert and Forest River be looked at for this potential dangerous product.
