| Description of the problem | After routine inspection i noticed bulges in the hydraulic hoses which control the leveling jacks and slide outs in late 2011. Hoses were determined to be defective due to a manufacturing defect. After much discussion about the safety implications of jacks or slides deploying due to loss of hydraulic pressure while in motion, forest river replaced the hoses at no charge. The replacement hoses were of a different brand that the originals. There have been many other reports about this by other forest river georgetown owners. |
