THIS IS NOT REALLY A COMPLAINT AS MUCH AS INFO FOR OTHER OWNERS. I DISCOVERED A LEAK IN THE MAIN PRESSURIZED FUEL LINE BETWEEN THE TANK AND THE FUEL FILTER. IT WAS CAUSED BY THE MAIN BODY MOUNTS RUBBING AGAINST IT. I HAD TO REPLACE IT. WHEN I PUT THE NEW ONE IN I REPOSITIONED THE MOUNTS JUST 3/4" LOWER SO THE FUEL LINE & THE MOUNT NO LONGER MAKE CONTACT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR FIRE IF FUEL WAS SPRAYING OUT OF THE PRESSURIZED LINE. IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO NOTIFY OTHER OWNERS TO CHECK THEIR UNITS IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. MY UNIT IS A CARRI-GO MODEL 2330 BUILT BY CARRIAGE AND HAS JUST 49,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON JULY 6TH, I PURCHASED A 36FT 2000 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. ON JULY 10TH, THE TRAILER HAS FINISHED ITS VIGOROUS INSPECTION AND IS READY FOR THE ROAD. I MADE IT AS FAR AS THE FLORIDA/GEORGIA LINE AND ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES BLEW DUE TO DRY-ROT. ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES WERE DATED 1999. THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF TRAILER WAS RIPPED OUT. MY FORD F-350 HAS HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE REAR-END FIXED & 6 NEW TIRES FOR MY DULLY TRUCK HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THE 5TH WHEEL HAD TO SIT AT A TRUCK STOP UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIRES & TOWED THE TRAILER BACK TO THEM. FOR THE DAMAGE THAT RESULTED UNDER THE TRAILER, I HAD TO PUT A CLAIM ON MY INSURANCE. EARLY OCTOBER THE TRAILER HAS FINISHED ITS REPAIRS. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO WITNESS THE TRAILER WORKED AND THE TIRES WERE LEFT UNDER MY 5TH WHEEL IN THE STORAGE DEPARTMENT. THE TRAILER WAS AGAIN, NOT FIXED DUE TO WIRES UNDERNEATH FOR A/C NEVER WERE REPLACED AFTER THE BLOW-OUT. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO PICKUP THE TRAILER, I TRIED RETRIEVING THE TIRES WHICH HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED BY 3 NEW TIRES IN THE STORAGE DEPARTMENT. I AM LEFT WITH MY MANY PERSONAL PICTURES OF ALL THE DAMAGE AND THE TIRES THAT BLEW ON THE TRAILER THAT DAY. *JB
