 Description of the problemTrailer was sold to as for the purpose of a toy hauler. We started having issues with the seal around fifth wheel and it was noticed by our rv tech that the expansion joint has excessive play resulting in the floor coming away from the wall by bedroom slide. We took trailer down to a government scale to weigh trailer and have found we have been running the trailer over weight but our cargo capacity has been to the max of the trailer but labels on the trailer are inaccurate. Trailer reads the dry weight of 11649 lbs but when weighed its 13060 lbs. Trailer is equiped with a 100 gallon water tank but label indicates a 50 gallon water tank which weighs full @ 416 lbs but with the 100 gallon tank it weighs 833 lbs. Trailer is also equiped with a fuel 30 gallon fuel tank with no weight ratings. When we fill unit up with fuel, water our 2 quads the trailer axles are over weight and we can not run full which we should be able to as that is what it is intended for. Axles on this trailer are good for 12000 lbs. With the inaccurate dry weight we are only able to carry 1600 lbs of cargo which forest river states we can run 3568 lbs (which there rep indicates) but label on side of trailer indicates 3010 lbs but when you do the math we should be at 3048 lbs for cargo capacity. We have already replaced brakes, some tires and now we have to replace the suspension and possibly add another axle to this unit to carry the cargo due to the misleading information that forest river has provided. With the trailer being over weight our brakes are inadequate for this type of trailer. Also we have had the tires rub through material in wheel wheels and material has wrapped around axles and have had the insulation hanging which could result in possible fire due to heavy braking application. Trailer has been wrongfully represented.
