It's a fifth wheel travel trailer. Took it to a authorized dealer for warranty work on one air conditioner, the service advisor informed me the next day about my air conditioner problem but stated that the trailer was structurally unsafe to to due to a frame problem causing the hitch pin to have excessive upward movement into the body and floor of the trailer I have been in contact with the dealer that I bought it from and the manufacture of the trailer and the frame manufacture. still waiting for answers. I have had several issues with this trailer from early on the frame issue IS a serious safety issue. the trailer still smells like new. It has only been used a few times and has not been towed very much. unable to determine haw long it has been like this I didn't feel anything while towing it and was informed while it was at a dealer for the air conditioner and other warranty items I do have a video of the movement.
