Our rig started having problems leveling. The unit made loud popping noises that sounded like it was coming from behind and below the driver seat. Our local tech noticed that there were incomplete or cracked welds in the frame. We notified Forest River of the concerns and they insisted that the rig was safe. All other professional opinions obtained stated that it was not safe and needed to be addressed. This included a heavy duty vehicle weld shop. They would not even touch it. The rig was sent to Forest River in Elkhart, IN for warranty work. They stated that they were not going to do anything with the welds. We are very concerned that this could cause catastrophic failure and kill someone. Our rig will remain at Forest River as we are not willing to accept this response. I have included photos of the concerns. Their electrical system is not good either. The wires are pinched in the framing.
