OUR RV HAS SOFT AREAS IN OUR ENTIRE FLOOR DUE TO FLOOR JOISTS BEING TOO FAR APART AND SUB STANDARD MATERIALS BEING USED. FOREST RIVER WILL REPAIR IF YOU WERE ORIGINAL OWNER BUT WE PURCHASED OUR 1 YEAR OLD UNIT IN AUGUST OF 2016....THESE UNITS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I CAN SUPPLY YOU WITH 82 OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS...THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DESIGN FLAW, WHICH I FEEL SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE COMPANY'S EXPENSE. IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU'RE THE ORIGINAL OWNER OR NOT. THE FLAW IS STILL THERE. WE WERE TOLD BY FOREST RIVER REPRESENTATIVES THAT THE NHTSA MANDATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR OUR UNIT BECAUSE WE WERE NOT ORIGINAL OWNER.PLEASE RECONSIDER IF THIS IS TRUE...IT IS A MAJOR…
