all tires & they were at the correct psi. We left that location & traveled to our campground a few miles down the road. We stayed at our location until sept. 17Th 2018. No picture available & we did not keep the tire of the first blowout on sept. 17Th 2018 we left elberta al back in route to calera al at approx. 0930Hrs. At approx. 1115Hrs near mile marker 60 on i65nb tire 2 blew out. We pulled to the shoulder of the interstate. The blowout resulted in the tread wrapping around the axle and breaking system of the trailer. After many attempts to get the tread off the trailer and my husband causing injury to his arms from the wires of the tire, we contacted a towing company for assistance at the recommendation of towing services from the county sheriff's office. The tow owner arrived & was able to remove the tread and place the spare tire on. This blowout resulted in break damage to break 2 & skirt damage to the camper. We continued to our destination exiting i65nb in montgomery & traveling the rest of the way on hwy 31. On hwy 31 near the pine level 65 over pass tire 3 blew out. We were able to pull off into a gas station parking lot. We unhitched the trailer & had to drive to the nearest tire service center & replaced the tire from the second blow out to place on the 3rd blowout.

large holes where the fiberglass structure pulled away from the frame. On the interior, cabinets and other structures pulled away from the walls and the floor sagged. Both axles were pushed out of alignment, causing the tires to blow out. The camper was in extreme danger of the actual body coming off of the frame while on the road. It was not safe to drive. The manufacturer (jayco) claims that the axel/frame manufacturer is responsible for the manufacturing defect and denies any responsibility and refuses to inspect or cover the damages. *Tr
