After the trailer collapsed, I’m deeply concerned for my children’s safety and the safety of others. Despite raising these issues, the manufacture Grand Design has deflected responsibility and refused to act, even while under warranty. I kindly request immediate attention and a formal response. I previously brought it to Grand Design in Elkhart, Indiana while it was under warranty, but they declined both inspection and repair. I am really struggling with why RVs are not federally regulated. My trailer poses serious safety risks to my family and others on the road due to the following issues: 1) Frame and Structural Failures: - Trailer collapsed when the frame broke holding the jacks - Welds breaking - Possible I-beam twisted (still need to confirm though) - Screws falling out while driving; risk of tire puncture and skirt/fender detachment - Driver-side outer wall separating from inner wall (gap large enough to fit a hand) - Main doors and cargo doors not staying closed during transport - Floor sinking in kitchen and bunk room - Trim detaching; walls bowing outward - Walls trimmed short five times, due to walls sinking with the floors from weight of roof - Severed screw heads on driver-side slides from excessive frame flex - Bathroom and hallway walls bowing - Sawdust on floor after each move - Master bedroom door damaged from wall bowing 2) Safety Concerns: - Brake breakaway system failed (now repaired) - Propane leaks - Wheel loose and balding due to improperly set crown bolt - Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors missing in bedrooms - Water pipes leaking onto electrical wiring (potential electrocution and/or fire) - Breaker box improperly wired (fire concerns) - Grounding issues affecting AC display and tank readers - Fridge leaking water inside (concerned about black mold) - Front jacks uneven and unstable and other issues too.
