4-2013 traveling on I-40 around memphis tn the lead tire on the roadside of the rv blew out. Pavement dry, no object was hit. The blow out took the fender off the trailer and bent the gas line to the stove. Purchased new tire. This rv had only 1500 miles when this occurred. 6-2013 traveling on I-86 near campbell, ny the lead tire on the passenger side blew out taking the fender off and bending the landing jack the pavement was dry and not obstacles were hit in the roadway. Put on spare and continued to our destination. The second tire split across the tire and then tread peeled off the same as the first tire. We purchased 4 new heavy duty trailers tires. Our insurance paid for the damage to the rv, less two, $250 deductibles and the cost the new tires.

My family was just leaving a campground after a nice memorial day weekend camping trip. We were about 1/2 mile outside the campground when we lost a wheel causing the axle to hang down. Luckily my husband was able to safely get the camper to the side of the road. This was due to a faulty wheel baring that had come loose. Thankfully, no one was injured,but I would like to ask the company lippert, who manufactures frames. Jacks, axles, bearings,etc. For many rv companies,"what would have happened if we were traveling down the interstate at 60 MPH not 25 MPH? Or, do you even care that you are manufacturing faulty equipment that put peoples lives in danger?" apparently there are several recalls for lippert products, none of which I have received notification about by mail, email, or phone.
