What owners report
1. Complete Trailer brake system failure due to incorrect wire gauge used during assembly at Grand Design. 2. Frame failure at axle shackle weld on Lippert frame due to over-penetration. While towing the trailer there was a message on the tow vehicle information center "trailer Brakes disconnected". All trailer breaking was lost while going down the Siskiyous. At that time the trailer began to sway and was difficult to maintain control due to the loss of trailer brakes. During assembly Grand Design used 18-gauge wire to connect the 14-gauge wire from the brake magnets and axle tube to the wire running through the trailer underbelly up to the Vehicle plug.

We were driving home from the Denver area on Sunday, [XXX] at [XXX]. After about 15 minutes of driving, another driver pulled alongside and told me a tire was missing. I pulled over. One of the trailer tires (driver side, furthest back) was gone. It was nowhere to be seen. The bolts holding lugs nuts were sheared off and the trailer fender was broken.

Welds on the steel wheels are breaking. I've broken two separate wheels, one just backing into a site, and the other turning sharp at a gas station to get to a pump. The wheels are 2-piece, with the inner ring that welds to the outer hoop. The welds appear to be very thin and so just the pressure of a sharp turn is over-torqueing the tiny welds to the point of breaking. Thankfully this didn't happen at speed because it would have been a major accident. I can't trust any of the other wheels at this point and am forced to replace them all with aluminum alloy wheels.
LED indicator lights on the kitchen range knobs over heated and caught on fire. I was filling the pantry in preperation for an upcoming trip. When I turned on the pantry light to the motion sensing position there was a slight momentary buzzing sound. I turned the switch off but then noticed that the LED light on the range knob was smoldering next to me. The LED then caught on fire and I extingushed it with a kitchen rag. I disconnected the trailer from the household power connection and turned off the battery disconnect switch. A few hours later when my spouse arrived home I connected the shore power and the battery disconnect while she observed the unit. We observed that the lights on the o
