Description of the problem	I purchased a 2004 f37 sandpiper fifthwheel toy hauler with carlisle 235/85/16 load rating e tires. Less than 2,000 miles on trailer and never over 350 mile trips. I have had two tires go flat in two separate 70 mile camping trips. I notified the dealer i purchased the trailer from about the incident and they forwarded the complaint to the manufature who stated the problem is not the weight of the trailer and did nothing about the flats (forest river). The last time i traveled, 10 miles from my house the 3rd tire exploded at 50 miles and hour and tore the side apart and wheel well of our trailer up within the 100 ydrs or so it took me to stop. The tire totally separated and the tread came off of the belts. I took the trailer to the weight station and weighed it to see if it was overloaded and it was not at the time. The tires had 80 psi for max weight capacity as printed on side wall. After dealing with forest river i took the trailer over a certified scale. The gvwr on the trailer is 13,700lbs and the gawr is 6,000 lbs per axel, i weighed the trailer at the axle and it weighed 10,700 lbs with 100 gallons of water. No 4 wheelers, no fluids in holding tank and about 7 gallons of gas in 15 gallon station, no food and no equipment. I was sold a toy hauler that is incapable of carrying the water (100 gal), fuel (15 gal) and two atv's as advertised without being over the gvwr. This does not include any clothing, food, equipment or waste in any tanks. What good is a toy hauler that is advertised to have these capacities but cannot carry anything in the tanks or you have to leave the toys at home. I have a garage at home. I purchased the trailer to haul a 735lb harley and one atv at about 1,300lbs in an email from forest river i should be able to carry more. I didn't disconnect the trailer from the truck to see the true gvwr but at 10,700 lbs at the axle, if i add my motorcycle and atv i am done!!! No equipment, no food, no clothing nothing!!
