2022 Dutchman Kodiak Ultimate 2921FK right rear Tire blow-out on I-75 southbound approx. 5 mile North of Forysth, Ga. (exit 187) Notified immediately by individual traveling behind our trailer. Pulled out interstate w/o injury or further damage to trailer. Tires: Ridgeway Sport ST tires with less than 1200 miles (purchased RV trailer May 18th 2022 from Camping World of Dover, Fl)

While towing at 60 mph on the freeway, the driver side wheel on the kodiak cub single axle trailer sheared off of the axle. The wheel in its entirety flew, bounced across two lanes of traffic, the median then two more lanes of traffic bounced over a culvert and landed on the side of a frontage road. Luckily no one one was hit by the wheel, it could easily of been deadly. This trailer was less then one year old. The trailer was flatbed towed to the dealership. The dealership contacted keystone.

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 dodge ram 1500 towing a 2018 dutchmen kd2711bs18 camper (na). While driving 35 mph, the rear driver's side leaf spring detached and the camper frame dropped onto the wheels. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The camper was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 300.

The trailer has completely exposed brake wires (over 1 ft). The wires hang down from the wheel and are prone to damage from rabbits (or other animals) and/or road damage (from debris). I spoke with dutchmen and they said this was built to spec. My wires were completely eaten by rabbits and left me without trailer brakes. The company does not care and will not cover the extensive repair costs.

Mismanufactured door panels (metal door) for beds puncturing canvass requiring replacement; mismanufactured plastic seaming which hold canvass in place to trailer itself and mismanufactured canvass requiring replacement after nominal use completely falling apart leaving trailer open to the elements. Both issues allow excessive and repeated water damage to unit to occur. Unit is approximately one and a half years old and only used a handful of times with repeated servicing required which has never corrected the manufacturing issues.
