The contact owns a 2021 Forest River Flagstaff Lite Weight Trailer towed by a 2015 GMC 2500.

The contact was notified by another driver that the tanks were being dragged behind the RV. The contact pulled over safely and placed both propane tanks into the trailer.

On the morning May 22nd, just 45 minutes after we left our home in Portland, our trailer burst into flames on 1-84 off exit 44 near Cascade Locks. It was inexplicable as to why this happened.

We are a part of the forest river group and quality seems to be a concern. Demand for these vehicles have skyrocketed and many feel that QA has been downgraded in order to get these trailers to market.
