2016 FOREST RIVER SALEM Unknown Or Other Problems

IN FEBRUARY 2016 WE PURCHASED A 2016 SALEM FOREST CAMPER. WE ONLY PULL IT LESS THAN 6 TIMES A YEAR (LESS THAN 161 MILES EACH WAY). WE WERE HAVING FLAT TIRES (BLOW OUTS) ON MOST TRIPS CAUSING DAMAGE UNDERNEATH AND DAMAGE ON BOTH SIDES. PRIOR TO THE BLOW OUT THE CAMPER PULLS TO ONE SIDE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, YOU HEAR A POP AND THEN LESS THAN A MINUTE YOU HAVE A TIRE THAT HAS PEELED ITSELF LIKE AN ONION. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAMPER COMES DOWN ONTO THE TIRES. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY YEAR WE HAVE PULLED IT. THE LAST TIME WAS MAY 24, 2019.*DT *DT *DT CONSUMER STATED TIRES WERE PURCHASED LAST YEAR. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. CAMPER IS CURRENTLY AT GANDER OUTDOORS OF ROANOKE,VA. *JB *DT *DT VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED.*JB COINSUMER STATED REPLACEMENT TIRES FAIL AS WELL. LIBBERT VERBALLY SAID THE SPRINGS WERE ALMOST FLAT AND...

THE KIDDE FIRE EXTINGUISHER PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL DUE TO POTENTIAL FAILURE TO OPERATE. THE RECALL ID REFERENCED BY THE MANUFACTURER IS 17V756. IT APPEARS THAT KIDDE HAS REPORTED THE RECALL CORRECTIVE ACTIONS COMPLETE. THEY ARE NOT. I REPORTED MY VEHICLE (A TRAVEL TRAILER) TO KIDDE IN MARCH 2018 AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE RECALLED EXTINGUISHER. ON 2 JULY 2108 I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT EXTINGUISHERS TO CUSTOMERS IN ALASKA, HAWAII, OR PUERTO RICO DUE TO SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS. THE PRODUCT WAS SOLD IN A LOCALE THAT IS PART OF THE UNITED STATES BUT KIDDE IS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE LOCALE WHERE THEIR PRODUCT WAS SOLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FOREST RIVER SALEM CRUISE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V756000 (EQUIPMENT). THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BRAND NEW TRAVEL TRAILER WAS SOLD BY CAMPING WORLD WITH BIAS PLY AND RADIAL TIRES MIXED ON THE AXLES, WATER TANK WAS LEFT UNBOLTED FROM FRAME AND ELECTRICAL UNDER THE TRAILER WAS FIXED WITH WIRE NUTS. THIS IS ALL A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECTS, THAT COULD LEAD TO MAJOR PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAYS, PULLING THE TRAILER HOME IT HAD MAJOR SWAY PROBLEMS. I DONT KNOW IF THE FOREST RIVER FACTORY BUILT IT THIS WAY OR CAMPING WORLD DID IT.
