UPON TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT WITH A VERY SMALL INCLINE AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES PER HOUR, THE REAR OF THE FIFTH WHEEL BOTTOMED OUT & SCRAPED THE PAVEMENT CAUSING IT TO RIP OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE BACK CAP. AS A RESULT OF THE BACK CAP BEING PULLED AWAY FROM THE FRAME, IT ALSO CAUSED US TO HAVE TO PULL THE FIFTH WHEEL HOME WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHTS, HAZARD LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS, WHICH IS A HAZARD TO US & OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THE REAR OF THE FIFTH WHEEL SITS ENTIRELY TOO LOW TO GROUND & THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY TIME IT IS PULLED TO A NEW LOCATION UNLESS THE DRIVEWAYS ARE PERFECTLY LEVEL WITH THE HIGHWAY.*JB
