Consumer Description

I purchased a 2022 Keystone Alpine 3720MD fifth wheel RV from Bish's RV in Anderson, Indiana (Modern Trailer Sales at the time) in February of 2023. Starting in early 2024, I noticed a crack starting to form in the fiberglass exterior wall on the driver's side of the RV originating from the lower left-hand corner of the opening for the master bed slide. Over the past 7 months, that crack has continued to grow in length as well as get wider over time. I am very concerned about the structural integrity of the underlying frame of the RV as I have read about many other owners of Keystone Alpines experiencing "frame flex" problems with their 2022 RV's. I have submitted pictures of the problem to Bish's RV and took it to them for an inspection on [XXX]. After the inspection, they acknowledged it was a frame flex issue and said they would be submitting it to Keystone for warranty coverage. However, I have not been able to speak with Bish's RV since then, even though I have called repeatedly. They do not answer their phones in the service department and do not return messages. I would like to get this problem resolved before the problem gets worse or results in some type of catastrophic failure while driving it on the road resulting in an injury to us or another driver. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
