MY TRAVEL TRAILER CAME EQUIPPED WITH 2 COKER P225-75R15 PASSENGER CAR TIRES. THE SIDEWALLS ON THESE 2 CAR TIRES ARE TOO WEAK TO SUPPORT THE GVW OF THE TRAILER. THE TIRES REQUIRE AN EXTRA 10 LBS. OF AIR PRESSURE ABOVE THE PSI STATED ON THE TIRES IN ORDER TO RIDE PROPERLY. THEY STILL BULGE AS THOUGH GOING FLAT EVEN WITH THE ADDITIONAL AIR PRESSURE. THIS TRAVEL TRAILER SHOULD HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL TRAILER TIRES WITH STRONGER SIDEWALLS AT A MINIMUM. WE WORRY CONSTANTLY ABOUT HAVING A BLOWOUT.

Newest filingsMY TRAVEL TRAILER HAS A FRONT DINING BOOTH, WHICH DOUBLES AS A BED WHEN THE TABLE IS IN THE LOWERED POSITION. THE ORIGINAL WOOD SUPPORTS FOR THE TABLE ON THE SEAT FRONTS ARE TOO THIN TO ACCOMMODATE THE TABLE WHEN USED AS A BED. THE TABLE HAS FALLEN OFF THE WOOD RAILINGS AND OUT OF THE METAL HANGING SUPPORTS. THE WOOD ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRONTS IS SKINNED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE. THE TABLE HAS COLLAPSED, TEARING OFF THE TABLE SUPPORT AND LANDING ON MY FOOT. I SUSTAINED A FOOT INJURY IN THE LATEST COLLAPSE, PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
