Consumer Description
The vehicle is a Fifth Wheel RV. Jayco Eagle HT 27.5 2018. The frame cracked, welds broke suspension/springs/equalizers where all compromised and the unit started swaying dangerously on the Interstate. Thankfully we managed to get off the highway without the unit falling over and causing catastrophic damage to us or those around us. The speed limit on the section of the highway is 80 miles an hour. Every semi that passed us almost pushed the rig over. An RV dealership in Salt Lake City still has our rig and have now finished the repairs. The Frame Manufacturer, Lippert have done most of the repairs and the dealership the rest. The rig was inspected and photographed and we have a repair report. There are many documented case of the manufacturing defect and there is an absolute danger of serious injury or death because these units have not been recalled. I can provide you with whatever detail may help to save someone else from having this happen to them.
