| Description of the problem | On 6/19/13 we left from burlington, wi - clinton, ny with our trailer. On our drive back to wi, we had stopped at a truck stop in indiana around 10:30 pm on 6/28 to get fuel & snacks from the trailer. Once we arrived home we realized that the outside latch door that covered the outdoor refrigerator had been ripped off, the refrigerator door itself had been ripped off, & both sets of steps were bent by the doors coming off & holes & dents down the bottom/lower side of the camper. The tires on the camper had worn through the bottom side of the camper & there was less than 1? Of clearance between the tires & trailer bottom. We contacted scenic rv & were told to bring the trailer back. The manger contacted us mon. Morning & stated that there was clearly a problem with the axle & the clearance on the trailer. We believe that because the tires were bouncing off the bottom of the trailer & with all of the vibration, it caused the latch door to bounce out of the lock catch ( |
