Description of the problem	Purchased new. Towed less than 150 miles, tandem axle fifth wheel camper. Left rear axle "u" bolts were not tightened at the factory causing rear axle to shift rearward the length of the leaf spring destroying the rear axle, brake wires tore loose, "u" bolts bent beyond use, rear leaf spring and mounting pockets bent. Other secondary damage to camper. Working on having towed to nearest dealer to be repaired. This is a workmanship failure. I've seen others listed on forums by this manufacturer, appears to be a quality control trend. The accident could have lead to injuries or death.
