I have had several issues with this vehicle but I found out today I was sold the wrong hitch sway control AND electronic brake control for my tow vehicle. I’ve been driving unsafely for a year now because of the dealer - Portland Airstream Adventures. This company’s records should be audited to ensure the tow vehicles are safe for their trailers.
