On the morning May 22nd, just 45 minutes after we left our home in Portland, our trailer burst into flames on 1-84 off exit 44 near Cascade Locks. It was inexplicable as to why this happened. It was a brand new trailer with less than 2k miles on it and purchased in December 2020. As you can see from the pictures, it was a total loss. We are filing this report to help protect others. We are a part of the forest river group and quality seems to be a concern. Demand for these vehicles have skyrocketed and many feel that QA has been downgraded in order to get these trailers to market.
I took possession of my brand new e-pro coach on march 12, 2021 and on march 31,2021 the axle detached from the frame and cause extensive damage. Luckily I was travel at approximately 5 miles per hour. I could have been severely injured as well as any passengers, other travelers, bystanders etc. If this occurred at a higher rate of speed or in any other area. The bolts that should of attached the coach to the frame where know where to be found in the mile and a half I walked searching for them on the roadway which was recently traveled. I purchased the coach from western skies rv in reno, nv. I've been in contact with them about this matter. Please advise me on the next steps I should take to resolve this vehicle matter. Thank you
