  SERVICE BRAKES

  I bought a Forest River Gray Wolf 26DBHBL on April 4th 2022 from Camping World in Anthony, TX. Both of the back right brakes locked up on us 100 miles from home on only our second camping trip with the camper. When we took off and opened the brake drum, the brakes were broken apart. Springs were off and adjusting bolts were bent and stripped, among other parts that were broken off. There was almost no oil inside the drum cap. We checked the left side and the brakes were very loose. None of the brakes were ever adjusted. This could have caused a very bad accident at a high rate of speed as the brakes could have locked on us then. I bought a new camper thinking it was safe and worry free so that we could travel with my one year old. The camper is now back at the dealer we bought it from. There was no warning other than a loud noise coming from the brakes. The camper had to be towed without brakes to the dealer.

  Recently purchased a 2022 Forest River Cherokee Greywolf. After numerous individuals warned us on a social media group that the undercarriage bolts that mount the RV box to the frame of the trailer are loose. I checked and noticed that every single bolt was loose. Had I not tightened the bolts down and had I not known them the RV box could have come loose or worse, fallen off the frame of the trailer, causing injury or death to motorists
