| Description of the problem | I bought my shasta airflyte 16 it had 0 miles and camping world is 40-45 miles to my house. We had to pull over 2-3 times because we thought the camper was coming uncoupled because of the bouncing of the camper and the shaking of the vibrations of the steering wheel, but when we got out everything was fine we smelled breaks and they were fine.. So we got home and 5hrs after it being home my camper was leaking that caused us to look over the whole camper close and i seen daylight in a vent when sitting on the gaucho. I found our wheel wells where busted loose and gaped open and tire skid marks in the wells and on the back side of the wells on the frame rub marks from the side walls. I couldn't fit my hands between the well and the tread of my tires and i couldn't get a finger behind the tire and the frame and measurements is about 1/4" sidewall to camper on one side and the other i can get a finger back there but it's a tight fit it measures about 3/4" side wall to camper .. My camper went back to the factory to be fixed. |
