we have a holding tank that has broken away from cheaply installed brackets and is coming through the bottom on the camper. Driving this is a hazard and if this had completely fallen out while we were driving over a pass it could have been fatal This is the major problem- there are many other smaller ones like trim coming off- flooring under sink collapsing. I would think if Forest River was a reputable company something would be done to fix this since the repercussions could have been catastrophic.
