THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER WORKED WELL SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE TRAILER. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT FOR THIS HEAVY OF A TRAILER THE BRAKES WOULD NEVER LOCK THE WHEELS UP ON THE TRAILER. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC DRUM BRAKES WITH ELECTRIC OVER HYDRAULIC DISK BRAKES. WHEN REPLACING THE BRAKES IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SEALS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS HAD FAILED COATED THE DRUM BRAKES WITH OIL AND GREASE. THE TRAILER HAS BEEN TOWED 1700 MILES. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF THE DRUM BRAKES.
EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (EverGreen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Lifestyle, Bay Hill, Alpha Gold and Tesla fifth wheel recreational trailers manufactured March 11, 2014, to January 23, 2015. In the affected vehicles, a rivet for the quad entry steps may shear and fail, causing the steps to give when being used.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the rivet shears under occupant load, the steps may give and the occupant may fall, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Remedy: Evergreen will notify owners, and dealers will remove the rivets and the step sections will be bolted together, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin August 7, 2015. Owners may contact EverGreen customer service at 1-574-825-4298.
