Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Bought a new holiday trailer, wildcat by forest river in 2004. trailer never trailed right behind truck. in 2005 three brand new sets of axles were put under trailer and all failed safety regulations. finally, axle hangers were measured and found that the one side was set back 1/2" farther than the other side. trailer wanted to pull us into the ditch and swayed the truck terribly. apparently the trailer has to be pulled all apart to re-weld the hangers to the enclosed frame. almost had several accidents because trailer started 'whipping' behind the truck.*jb
