UNKNOWN Unit is 2023 Airstream RV International 23 ft Travel Trailer. My concern is that the manufacturer does not provide proper tire inflation guidance. They only state what amounts to be the maximum tire pressure from the tire mfr. Not a recommended pressure which should be much lower. Goodyear tire info (supplied for my unit) states 80 psi max. Goodyear chart states approx 30 psi per tire for my unit. Tires are Goodyear Endurance ST 225/75 R15. Airstream sticker states 80 psi which is far too high and incorrect for safe operation. Dealers and customers have no proper guidance and over inflate, causing a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2005 Airstream International CCD. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the floor and outriggers were sagging due to cracks in the subframe. The trailer was towed to the dealer, where it was inspected by a welder. The welder removed the skirts and determined that the main frame support beam had a linear defect in the rectangular tubing and complete separation in parts of the subframe. The trailer was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and had the trailer was towed to the dealer for a welder to inspect. The failure mileage was unknown.

The trailer door latch fell off and trapped us inside for about an hour. There was no one around to help us at our campsite and no telephone cell service. We had no tools other than a butter knife to try and jamb the latch lock. We did finally manage to get of the trailer on our own by using brut force. This is a extremely dangerous problem that AirStream could easily fix. Yes, there is an escape window but breaking a window and screen is a last ditch effort and requires some agility on the occupants part to jump out of. Thinking of all the wildfires these days it would be awful to be trapped in a trailer or to have a fire break out inside the trailer and not be able to escape.

EZ-HITCH HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL NOTICE AND WAS NOT FIXED BY AIRSTREAM OF VIRGINIA DEALERSHIP PRIOR TO SELLING THIS UNIT TO ME ON 5/29/20. RECALL NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED 12/2019. DUE TO IMPROPER WELDING, THE DEMCO BALL COUPLER INSTALLED ON THE TRAVEL TRAILERS MAY NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH CLAMPING FORCE ON THE TOW BALL, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE COUPLER TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOW BALL. IF THE COUPLER SEPARATES FROM THE TOW BALL, THE TRAILER CAN DETACH FROM THE TOW VEHICLE, POSING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
