 Description of the problemWe purchase a brand new 2017 forest river cherokee 235b 5th wheel. After noticing major damage in the wheel well we brought it into a shop. Turns out there is a major clearance issue and the 5th wheel will not tow level. There is 2' between the tire and wheel-well, plumbing sits 10" from the ground & has been almost ripped off when towing. Forest river wast us to tow this unsafe unit to an "authorized dealership" nearly 100 miles away so they can have it looked at. The skid bars are completely bent due to the 5th wheel riding low and level when towing. The 2 rear tires can not withstand the weight being put on them. If this were to be towed those 15" tires could very easily blow out. Forest river already had to replace the rear leaf springs due to them being bad within a month of purchasing this unit.
