I HAVE A TRAVEL TRAILER WITH 15' WHITE PAINTED STEEL SPOKE WHEELS, AFTER A YEAR ONE HAD A AIR LEAK WHERE THE RIM AND SPOKES ARE WELDED TOGETHER, ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER ANOTHER WHEEL HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN, I ENDED UP PUTTING INNERTUBES IN THEM. IN SEPT. OF THIS YEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON HIGHWAY 80 IN IOWA, WE HAD A WHEEL/TIRE FAILURE SINCE WE NEVER FELT ANYTHING WHEN IT HAPPENED WE DIDN'T PULL OVER RIGHT AWAY, I THOUGHT THE NOISE I HEARD WAS A TRUCK PASSING US BUT AFTER IT PASSED THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE.

FRAME IS NOT STABLE. FLEXING OF FRAME ALLOWS FRONT OF TRAILER TO MOVE FORWARD. THE FRONT WALLS SEPARATING FROM FRAME. LAG BOLTS INSUFFICIENT TO HOLD TRAILER ON FRAME. WHILE BACKING ON AN INCLINE, THE TRAILER FLEXED AND MADE CONTACT WITH MY PICKUP TRUCK.

THE FRAME WELDS WERE INADEQUATE AND HAVE BROKEN AWAY ON THE FRONT PART OF THE TRAILER NEAR THE TONGUE. THE CENTER CROSS MEMBER BETWEEN THE TONGUE IS DANGLING. IT IS A 2015 SHASTA 1961 RE-ISSUE 16 FOOT TRAILER. IT IS CLEARLY AN EXAMPLE OF SHODDY WORKMANSHIP, AND IS DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AFTER OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL TRAILER BROUGHT THE PROBLEM TO LIGHT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TRAILERS

AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS TO GET LAZY DAYS IN COLORADO TO COMPLETE REQUIRED AND AGREED UPON RECALL WORK DONE ON MY CAMPER, THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL TO DO SO.
