| Description of the problem | Slide out mechanism in right rear wheel passenger side is installed/built/designed so that part of it's mechanism made of 1/4" steel sticks into the tire of the vehicle. It has cut into the tire as seen in photos (attached) the tire has not been completely destroyed however it continually being cut/damaged by this metal. This travel trailer cannot be used under it current condition due to potential danger involved, not to mention ruining an otherwise new tire. I have contacted the manufacturer regarding this. I believe, had i not noticed this, catastrophic failure under use could cause death or serious personal injury. |
