| Description of the problem | The tail lights and reverse lights are not waterproof, there is no gasket to stop water from entering the lens and filling up with water. There is a recall on other forest rive rear tail light filling with water. I called forest river and told them that there was a half inch of water in the tail lights and was told to take it up with the dealer who sold me the unit , and also was told you are the second owner so there is no warranty in effect. I asked if they had different rear lights that were sealed and that i would replace them , forest river said there is no recall and that is it. If the water got another 1/4 of an inch higher it would shorted out the rear tail , brake and turn signal lights please look in to this. |
