Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 holiday rambler 26' fifth wheel rv,on this date numerous frame cracks and broken welds were found which caused the axles to move laterally about 6 inches resulting in 1 blowout at highway speed. it appears the optional adjustable suspension was not properly strengthened to prevent excessive flexing of the frame. rv was inspected by a certified welder of trailers sent to us by the manufacturer,and he notified the manufacturer that there was no way he could make the rv road worthy. the rv was left in knoxville,tenn. and was transported by flatbed truck back to the factory for inspection and repair if possible. separation of the axle from the rv at highway speeds would have been catastrophic to say the least. there is no doubt that if we had continued driving that separation of the axle would have occurred. *la |
