| Description of the problem | While traveling 1200 miles tires continuously blew out. Consumer found that the frame cracked, and the axle was going side ways. *ak the consumer felt that the suspension was to light, wearing out the spring hangers, flattening the springs, allowing the frame to carry the load on just the tires which were underrated. On one occasion the tire blewout damaging water lines under the trailer. All this in under 5000 miles on the trailer (forest river f37sp fifth wheel 2004). *bf *nm *nm |
