to disengage. The entire pull-out kitchen box assembly disengaged from its housing, swung completely out into oncoming/adjacent traffic lanes, and struck a roadside mailbox. While no drivers or pedestrians were injured in this instance, a heavy structural slide swinging open into public traffic during transit presents an extreme, life-threatening highway safety hazard that could easily cause a multi-vehicle collision or fatality. Confirmation by Service Center / Dealer: The trailer is currently being evaluated by TerryTown RV (an authorized inTech dealership and service center), who is assessing the damage and repair it. On 9/28/26 we notified inTech about this incident, they just responded that the trailer is out of warranty and they are not responsible. People on different online forums has mentioned similar experiences. inTech is aware of the design failure of the older models since they had updated their newer model with a better locking system, but they failed to inform the potential danger to owner of the older models. Inspections Conducted: The damaged components have been inspected and documented via photos by the owner and our insurance (Meemic). Warning Signals Prior to Failure: No warnings as this is a mechanical latch defect on a towed trailer. The slide was confirmed fully stowed, pinned and locked prior to departure, but normal road vibration during transit allowed the single pin to bypass its locking position.
