The main black steel chassis rail on this 4-month-old travel trailer has suffered a severe structural corkscrew twist, causing the front slide-out box to slope downward and warp out of square. The structural torsion is verified by straightedge levels reading opposite directions from the front to the back of the frame. This defect completely compromises highway tracking and structural integrity, creating an extreme risk of a catastrophic highway failure or total wall separation while in motion. The manufacturer and dealer have failed to provide safe transport for inspection."
