Most Recent Complaints
We bought the camper used, we had it inspected before we purchased it and there were no signs of water damage. The seller told us the floor was soft due to a design issue, which we confirmed by seeing post in several online forums about the bad design of the floor. The first night we slept in the trailer, the rear slide-out fell off with us in it. Luckily we were not injured. Looking the damage it appears water had entered the trailer between the walls so it was not visible and rotted the main support for the top of the slide out. We were able to lift the slide out up and put it back in the trailer but we are concerned to use it. We know we bought the trailer used "as is" and we do not expect the dealer or manufacturer will do anything to help us, but we feel this trailer should be recalled before someone is more serioulsy injured.
