Description of the problem	On july 10, 2014 my wife and i bought a columbus 340 rk fifth wheel made by forest river. Upon delivery august 14th 2014 we noticed immediate defects and called rv wholesalers to notify of the issues. Since we had a tripped planned with the 5th wheel to drive through the rocky mountains my wife and i stated we would take it in for repairs after the trip. During our trip i noticed that the brakes felt like they were not working properly and notified the dealership of the issue. We agreed on a repair shop where i delivered the 5th wheel (sept 14, 2014) and gave a list of defects to the repair shop and rv dealer. Brakes were number 1 concern. The repair shop called me and stated the wiring harness to the brakes were never wired and complete (pictures were sent) also, issue 2 the backing plates for the brakes were installed incorrectly. In a nut shell my 13,800 pound trailer had no brakes! Currently in a lemon law suit against forest river and need my governments help. Rv still at shop with zero work done to it. Sitting since sept 2014.
