What owners report

2023-03-03, Structure
The rear frame that the trailer hitch is attached to has cracked and trailer hitch began to fail.the hitch metal also cracked and the hitch started to fall down,dropping the front of the trailer.if the trailer hitch dropped of completely,the safety devices of the trailer would not have worked. Since the safety chains and emergency brake cable are attached to the hitch,the trailer would be free wheeling down the highway. This would then probably hit another vehicle possibly causing injury or death. The is a Lippert brand hitch. Tag on hitch states 8000 GVW and 500 lb tongue weight. Trailer was less than 4000lbs. And less then 500 tongue weight.

TRIMARK DOOR LATCH STRIKER (MADE OF CHEAP POTMETAL) BROKE WHILE REFUELING. AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ONE DOOR THIS TAPPING OCCUPANTS INSIDE RV UNTIL TOOLS COULD BE LOCATED AND THE DOOR DISASSEMBLED FROM THE INSIDE. TRIMARK 1650 IS THE PROBLEM, IT HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN TO MANY RV'S AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE BURNS TO DEATH IN AN RV.
