Not very happy camper. Our 17 month old 5th wheel which we paid a lot of money for. Vilano 325rl. Had gone about 150 miles. Stopped for stretch. Hubby did walk around as usual as spotted tires on passenger side about 1? apart ! Big flag. He assessed it and decided to make it to the next rv camp available very slowly. Backing up into spit had loud noise and smell of rubber as tires were so close together . Next day called Vanleigh who referred us to Lippert co. The frame is made by lippert . They took information and agreed it was still under warranty . We called a mobile tech and was informed he had just replace two other units for same problem. He said the leaf spring are too short. One of the recent rvs he repaired had got frame damage also and brakes. So plans are for him to come out tomorrow assess all damage and get this fixed . My stomach has flipped a few times thinking what could have happened !!
Anyone wanna comment on this as to why would this happen on such a new luxury 5th wheel with only 2500 miles traveled !??? After researching internet. Class action lawsuits on lippert. And now concerned what else will go wrong ??
