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.

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.

The wires are pinched in the framing.
