| Description of the problem | This rv bounces as it travels, bottoming out on the road and causing major issues with the rv. It had 2013 tires that bubbled from fatigue of the bounce and the spring leafs were flat, replaced and flat again. The bounce causes electrical issues with the tail lights sometimes not working. Forest river has refused to fix the problem in the 6 months that i have had it and they say it's safe to operate on the road. |
