This problem pertains to a Holiday House Travel Trailer, model 18RB. The frame is not per Holiday House published specifications. The aluminum that was used for the frame is smaller and thinner than what HH specified. The frame is starting to sag which is the same problem reported by other owners prior to total frame failure. Since the frame has not failed yet and no crash occurred, I can't answer some the questions below. I inspected the frame on August 5th of 2022 and HH agreed in a phone call that my frame needs to be strengthened. I spoke with both [XXX] and [XXX].

PE23007 · Failing Trailer Frames

Opened Apr 17, 2023 · Closed Jan 14, 2025

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Structure

On April 17, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation, PE23007, to investigate reports of frame sagging and/or floor collapse, including while in transit, in MY2019-2021 Holiday House, LLC (Holiday House) trailer models 18RB, 24TB, and 27RQ. On April 26, 2023, ODI sent an Information Request (IR) letter to Holiday House.In June 2023, Holiday House submitted an incomplete response to ODI, which only provided very limited build and purchaser information.To date, ODI has received five owner complaints with one trailer showing evidence of the frame collapsing and dragging while in transit.Furthermore, one of the owner complaints included allegations of another 12 failed or failing Holiday House trailers. In October 2023, the owner of Holiday House informed ODI that the company had been closed.Since that time, the owner of Holiday House has not responded to ODI's attempts to obtain further information.According to State of Indiana records, Holiday House was administratively dissolved and inactive as of November 5, 2024. Under these circumstances, ODI is closing this investigation.However, based on available information about the concerns addressed by this investigation, owners of the involved models should have their trailers professionally inspected to verify that the floor and its supporting frame is not sagging and that the floor is strong enough for continued safe use.Furthermore, these vehicles may need additional repairs to resolve safety issues reported under two previous recalls, 22V-067 and 22V-882. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does or does not exist in these or any other Holiday House trailers.Additionally, the Agency notes that the Vehicle Safety Act states: “A manufacturer’s filing of a petition in bankruptcy under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of title 11 does not negate the manufacturer’s duty to comply with section 30112 or sections 30115 through 30120 of this title,” which include the recall provisions of the Act.The Agency reserves the right to take further action as warranted.
