- The problem
- Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling various 2003-2018 Crossroads, Dutchmen, and Keystone recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V755-5127.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

2006 Everest 345s fifth wheel recreational vehicle (camper). Axle / spring shackle (u-bolt) nuts loosened and as a result axle shifted on the springs rearwards causing loss of parts of the spring assembly (leafs of the springs), axle cockeyed on trailer and causing hanger damage, bent main frame( i- beam), tire damage and body damage to trailer. Incident occurred in i-65 at 65 mph. But for the raining conditions and very wet highway I feel this could have caused total loss of control and a crash / roll over of the entire unit. *Tr
