After two years of limited service, the frame on my travel trailer bent severely making the unit unusable. there was no indication of why the frame failed or any preliminary indication until it happened. the manufacture claims no responsibility for engineering defects. there have been documented accounts of several other owners with the same issue. i have had a frame specialist repair the unit, but am concerned with the longevity and the other units on the road. vin #1ujbj02l441xe0058 |
