2005 Dutchmen Aero Lite

NOTICED THAT THE COUNTER TOP CRACKED AND SEPARATED AND THE STOVE AND REFRIGERATOR HAS LIFTED AND THE WINDOW IN FRONT OF THE SINK HAS DROPPED BELOW THE COUNTER TOP. ALL THE PANELS ON THAT SIDE HAVE EITHER CRACKED OR SEPARATED. CALLED THE COLLISION SHOP AT CAMPING WORLD AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO PULL THE CAMPER BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FRAME EITHER BENT OR CAME APART OR BOTH AND THAT IT WOULD BE UNSAFE TO PULL DOWN THE ROAD. CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THEY ARE GOING TO COVER IT SINCE THEY FEEL IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR

THE SPRING HANGER THAT HOLDS THE LEFT SIDE SPRING FROM THE DOUBLE AXLE RIPPED FROM THE FRAME ABOVE THE WELD CAUSING THE TRAILER TO FALL ONTO THE TIRES AND MELTING THE TIRES. TRAILER WAS BEING USED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT THE TIME AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. THE FRAME IS NOW WARPED AND TWISTED WITH A AREA OF METAL RIPPED OUT ABOVE THE SPRING HANGER. THERE IS ALSO OTHER CRACKS ON THE FRAME. RESEARCH ON WWW.RV.NET SHOWS THAT OTHER FRAMES HAVE EXPIRENCED THE SAME FAILURE.

DT: WHILE ON VACATION, THE CALLER NOTICED THAT THE CABINETS ON THE CAMPER TRAILER WERE CROOKED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE BUMPER WAS BENT AND THE WHOLE FRAME WAS BENT ON PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE CALLER STATED THAT THE CABINETS WERE A PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE CAMPER TRAILER. DEALER SAID THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE CALLER'S INSURANCE COMPANY TO CALL THEM. MANUFACTURER HAD THE TRAILER NOW AND THEY FOUND A SMALL DENT LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER'S REAR FRAME. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE DENT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CALLER DISAGREED. THE TRAILER IS A DUTCHMEN AEROLITE. *AK THE FUSE WAS BLOWN IN THE WATER PUMP, THE SCREEN DOOR WAS BENT, THE AC HAD AN ODOR, THE KITCHEN FLOOR AND ROOF WERE DAMAGED. THE DRAIN IN THE SINK WAS LEAKING. *JB
