When I arrived at my campground the gray tank fell completely out of the underbelly. When checked it was only being held up by a thin plastic strap. Under further investigation the black tank and the 2nd gray tank wasn't secured by anything. Also the whole back wall leading to the patio is pulling away from the roof and walls of the rv. It could have fell out while traveling and could have hit a vehicle behind is and killed them. The wall could collapse and injure another person. The manufacturer knows about the issues and their only resolve is to leave us stranded with no vehicle to stay in while they keep our rv.

There have been numerous issues with our brand new 2026 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack 24-15 toyhauler. Few weeks after the purchase the aluminum side skirt started to peel away from the body of the trailer, submitted for warranty. Went to de-winterize, coolant leaked all over the kitchen floor area, plumbing not connected, submitted for warranty. Back-up camera which was suppose to come with a monitor, did not and has not worked, submitted to warranty. Trim coming off in the bedroom and missing in the kitchen area behind the "Wolf Pack" sign, submitted for warranty. Soft spot in the floor of kitchen (panel not properly secured, found out today [XXX]), submitted to warranty. Linoleum by the floor tie-downs coming up, submitted for warranty. Water tank leaked out 2/3 of our fresh water on the only camping trip we took. Only had one camping trip since we purcahsed in March 2026. Found out, skirting was replaced under warranty after Bish's RV in Meridian had to fight for us on the full replacement on both sides. Water tank needs a loop in the vent line since the anti-siphon is not working. Biggest worry of all is what the tech found, and I will quote on the work order: "Tie Down Gussets Missing all Nuts to Secure body to Trailer" The manufacturer "FOREST RIVER" did not have any nuts securing the body of the trailer to the frame. This could have KILLED my whole family!!!!!!!!!! Tech ended with "WOW factor" INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
