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 -…
