What owners report

2019-03-21, Structure
MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN CAMPER, PARTS OF A SLIDE MECHANISM ARE FAULTY THAT IS CAUSING THE FIBERGLASS ON THE SIDE OF THE CAMPER NEAR THE SLIDE TO CRACK ON THE EXTERIOR. THE CRACK IS AGGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. THE SIDE IS IN DANGER OF FALLING OUT OF THE CAMPER, AS IT CURRENTLY SITS. FOREST ROVER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND HAS DENIED ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AS THE CAMPER IS BEING PULLED DOWN THE ROAD THE STRESS FROM THE BUCKING AND BOUNCING OF TRAVEL IS CAUSING THE CRACK TO INCREASE. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING AND DOCUMENTING THIS PROBLEM SINCE INCEPTION, I HAVE MANY FILES OVER THE ALLOWED AMOUNT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO REVIEW.

BEFORE LEAVING THE CAMP GROUND I VISUALLY INSPECTED ALL SIX TIRES AS WELL AS CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE. ALL 6 TIRES APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND WERE AT THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDATION OF 80 PSI.
