Crossroads Redwood problems & complaints

ON MAY 15, 2020, I PICKED UP MY 2019 CROSSROADS REDWOOD (3951WB) FROM CATOOSA, OKLAHOMA TO TAKE IT BACK TO ALPINE, TEXAS AFTER IT BEING AT TULSA RV FOR SIX MONTHS FOR SIGNIFICANT WARRANTY REPAIRS. ON THE WAY BACK TO ALPINE, SOMEWHERE ALONG THE ROUTE THE REAR AXLE'S RIGHT-SIDE LEAF SPRING SHEARED IN HALF. DUE TO WEIGHT OF THE RV AND THE SIZE OF MY TRUCK, I DID NOT FEEL THE LEAF SPRING SHEAR IN HALF. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE CAMPGROUND IN ALPINE, I NOTICED THE RV WAS LEANING ABOUT THREE INCHES LOWER ON MY TRUCK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I HAD TO LEVEL THE RV WITH A RAMP ON A LEVEL SITE. THE BROKEN LEAF SPRING WAS HIDDEN BY THE TIRE. I LOOKED UNDER THE RV AND THEN SAW THE DAMAGE TO THE LEAF SPRING,…

THE LEAF SPRINGS ON MY UNIT WERE BENDING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. A FRIEND FOLLOWING ME ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TOLD ME MY TRAILER WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH THE UNIT AND FOUND THE SPRINGS ON THE LEFT SIDE BENT. I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD OVERLOADED THE TRAILER SO I WENT TO THE CAT CERTIFIED SCALES AND FOUND I WAS UNDER THE FACTORY SPECS BY AT LEAST 300 OR MORE LBS. I TALKING WITH FELLOW REDWOOD OWNERS I DISCOVERED THEY HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND EVEN SOME THAT HAD BROKEN THAT SPRING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT EITHER IN THE WEIGHT CAPACITY OF THE SPRINGS OR QUALITY OF THE CHINA MADE SPRINGS ON THESE UNITS. IF THESE BREAK OFF IT COULD BE A CATASTR…

I HAVE A 2014 REDWOOD GK38 THIS 5TH WHEEL RV WAS BUILT WITH 7000 POUND AXLES. LAST DECEMBER IN THE MOBILE, AL AREA WITHIN 40 MILES OF EACH OTHER I HAD 2 LEAF SPRINGS BREAK ON THE REAR AXLE. ONE ON THE WAY DOWN TO PORT CHARLOTTE FL AND ONE RETURNING HOME TO TEXAS. MY CONCERN IS THIS ISSUE IS NOT ISOLATED TO JUST MY REDWOOD THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE THESE 5TH WHEELS ARE ADVERTISED AND FULL TIME LIVING UNITS AND HAVE VERY HEAVY UPGRADES TO THE INTERIOR TO WITHSTAND FULL-TIME LIVING IN THEM. I AM A MEMBER OF THE REDWOOD OWNERS GROUP AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THESE SPRINGS BREAKING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. WHEN THE 2016 MODEL YEAR CAME THE MANUFACTURER CAME OUT WI…

WHILE DRIVING ON US 89 IN CALIFORNIA, MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TRAILER TIRE EXPLODED. HWY 89 SECTION HAD NO TURNOUTS OR SHOULDERS FOR ME TO STOP. THE TIRE IS A MARATHON ST235/80R16 LOAD RANGE E WITH APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES ON IT. I AM FANATIC ABOUT VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND TIRE SAFETY AND THE TIRES HAD THE RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED CROSSROADS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I SPENT $102,888.00 ON THIS FIFTH WHEEL AND I HOPE THAT I CAN AT LEAST GET A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
