Consumer Description

I was towing our 2018 Forest River Wildwood 370BL down I 10 coming into Tucson AZ on our way back to Alabama from California when we were approx 20 miles away from our overnight stop in Tucson. I notice that the camper was moving up and down with the bumps and dips and even made contact with the top of my bed on the passenger side causing damage. After attempts to find a mobile RV repair facility that would look at it failed, I called the Lippert, the company listed on the fifth wheel pin box. After removing the exterior panels at their direction It was obvious that there was major damage to the welds themselves on the frame. Speaking to Lippert reps, they agreed over the phone that this was a failure in the frame. The flex caused by these breaks also caused major structural damage to the exterior walls, slides, floor, interior walls, seals, gutters, and roof. As of now my AC condensation is now dripping down through the walls because of a separation of the exterior wall near the roof line and gutter. This could have been a life altering event to my family and those around us on I 10 if this would have completely failed.
