Description of the problem	In february 2016 we purchased a 2016 salem forest camper. We only pull it less than 6 times a year (less than 161 miles each way). We were having flat tires (blow outs) on most trips causing damage underneath and damage on both sides. Prior to the blow out the camper pulls to one side making it difficult to control, you hear a pop and then less than a minute you have a tire that has peeled itself like an onion. It appears that the camper comes down onto the tires. This has happened every year we have pulled it. The last time was may 24, 2019.dt dt dt consumer stated tires were purchased last year. Manufacturer was contacted. Camper is currently at gander outdoors of roanoke,va. jb dt dt vehicle is being repaired.jb coinsumer stated replacement tires fail as well. Libbert verbally said the springs were almost flat and the bolts are above the tires causing them to peel like an onion. Lippert of course didn't put anything in writing put authorized "in good faith" 2 new axle kits which include the springs. They are not covering insulation. Submitted to forest river regarding the bolt. There were obviously several issues making my camper unsafe to pull. jb
