I WANTED TO BRING SOMETHING TO YOUR ATTENTION, (I SENT THIS TO THE MANUFACTURER WITH NO RESPONSE) I JUST PURCHASED THE ABOVE CAMPER TRAILER ON OCTOBER 3, 2020, TOOK IT TO GET THE TIRES BALANCED ON OCTOBER 6, 2020, WHEN THE TECH STARTED TO BALANCE THE FIRST TIRE, THE TECH COULD HEAR SOMETHING MOVING INSIDE THE TIRE, SO I ASKED HIM TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF AND SEE WHAT IT WAS.
