What owners report
The contact owns a 2018 Heartland Pioneer RV. The contact stated that while outside and touching the RV, the contact experienced electrical shocks. The electrical shocks had occurred only while kneeling and touching the RV. While examining the RV, the contact discovered that the electrical wiring to the air conditioning unit was chard and burnt. Additionally, the air condition compressor had overheated. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 100.
On Thursday, April 15, 2021, at approximately 1415, I was traveling east on I-10 in Florida at approximately Mile Marker 130, when I felt my travel trailer start to sway, looked in my passengers side rear-view mirror and noticed tire pieces flying everywhere. I immediately slowed to a stop as I pulled to the shoulder of the road. By the time I pulled to the side of the road the tire had disintegrated, there was nothing left of the tire but the beads, and the wheel was damaged. When the tire blew out, I was on an overpass when the trailer began to sway back and forth. Since it is a single axle trailer it sways more than a tandem axle would. Fortunately, I installed a weight distribution
