The lippert i-beam frame used on these campers fails because lack of strength in the wheel well area. The i-beam frame will develop cracks that will eventually lead heavy swaying to the point that the tires will begin to rub on the trailer itself. In my particular case I saw smoke coming out of the wheel well while driving on a windy highway. I went to several RV dealers who al said my trailer was unsafe to travel in and was not repairable. I eventually found a frame shop that was able to repair the frame and a cost of $4,300 and I also had to purchase 4 new tires. My insurance company refused the claim because they stated this was a manufacturers defect that is a know issue and as a result their is a class action lawsuit against Forest River and Lippert.
