WINNEBAGO Complaints

****NOTE - NEED MORE INFORMATION, REQUESTED THE VIN ON 4/24/2018**** BED FRAME SUPPORT FAILURE. FLIMSY CONSTRUCTION ALLOWED BED FRAME WOODEN MEMBERS TO CRACK AND CAUSE SUPPORT FAILURE. BED MATTRESS WAS BEGINNING TO CAVE THRU INTO LOWER CARGO BAY. I HAD TO REBUILD AND STRENGTHEN THE ENTIRE DESIGN FOR IT TO BE SAFE. OTHER OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS TRAILER WAS NEVER USED, AND THUS HAPPENED WHILE MAKING UP THE BED WITH SHEETS AND BLANKETS WHILE ON TOP OF THE MATTRESS. *TT *TR
