| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2015 forest river blue ridge camper being hauled by a 2015 gmc sierra 3500. The contact stated that the weight distribution was not properly specified by the manufacturer. The ratings did not match the camper for the appropriate weight distribution. In addition, by adding the cargo to the maximum, it caused the weight to be over capacity and could cause a fracture to the camper without warning. The contact made several calls to the dealer and the manufacturer, but did not receive a response. The vin and failure mileage were not available. |
