Consumer Description
Since the beginning of ownership have heard creaking in the floors. Then noticed doors are closing harder and bolts and screws on the left hand side are coming out. Finally noticed a stress crack of about 5” at a 45 degree angle on front corner of the master bedroom slide. Took a 6 hour trip and now the crack is 2.5 ft. The dealership investigated it and found that the wall studs have broken away from the frame causing the “wall to free float” Have been told it is unsafe to travel and reading on the internet this seems to be happening more on toy haulers or heavy fifth wheels. It appears to be under-engineered and a safety hazard.
