What 2010 Dutchmen Grand Junction owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The frame immediately between the dual axel cracked but remind together. The side wall at the top of the trailer also cracked.this occured on the hiway and was noticed upon parking the trailer at our destination. If I had not stopped it appears the rear end of the trailer and the rear axel would have entirely lost their integrity. The road side of the trailer has a 1 to 2 inch sag at the rear end. Upon seeeking help I learned that lippert the frame manufacturer offered a repair procedure using p/n 106124 that has been in effect since 2009 and has "plenty" in stock. This appears to be a continuing problem. Typical hiway speed 65 MPH, mileage approx. 35,000 miles.
