WHEN I HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING IN THE TRAVEL TRAILER, AND HAVE THE HOT WATER HEATER ON USING PROPANE THE RV FILLS UP WITH CARBON MONOXIDE. IT SETS OFF BOTH MY ALARMS. I HAD A TECH LOOK AT IT BUT COULD NOT FIND OUT WHERE THE FUMES ARE COMING IN FROM. IT LOOKS LIKE A DESIGN FLORE OF THE MANUFACTURER, FOREST RIVER. SO FAR THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP. THE UNIT IS STATIONARY IN AN RV PARK.
ONE WEEK AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF FOREST RIVER TRAVEL TRAILER, I TOWED THE TRAVEL TRAILER TO A LAKE THAT WAS 90 MILES FROM HOME. FORTY FIVE MILES INTO THE DRIVE, AT A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF STATE HIGHWAY MN-47 THAT HAD A HUMP IN THE ROAD, THE TOW VEHICLE AND TRAILER UNDULATED CAUSING THE TRAILER TO BECOME UNHOOKED FROM THE TOW HITCH. THE TRAILER CONTINUED TO BE TOWED UNTIL I COULD GET TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER WITH THE TRAILER TO BE RE-HITCHED. I BROUGHT THE TRAILER TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE TOW HITCH FOR THEIR ASSESSMENT. THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE CLINCH BOLT ON THE TRAILER TONGUE WAS NOT TIGHTENED ADEQUATELY FROM THE MANUFACTURER, ALLOWING THE TONGUE TO BECOME UNHITCHED FROM THE BALL HITCH. THE TRAILER TONGUE FRAME IS NOW GROUND DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. FOREST RIVER WILL NOT REPAIR THIS INCIDENT DUE TO POSSIBLE DISBELIEF. ANOTHER COMPLAINT IS...
