| Description of the problem | I purchased a travel trailer manufactured by forest river on 11/10/07. This trailer specifies that the unladen vehicle weight is 3640 pounds. My tow vehicle struggles to pull this trailer. I had it the vehicle weighed on a certified public scale. The actual unladen vehicle weight of this trailer is 5036 pounds. It is apparent to me that the vehicle is labeled in error. As a result of the discrepancy i have not used the vehicle because i don't feel safe towing it with my tow vehicle. |
