I've received paperwork in the mail on the CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT that is proceeding forward on the WW's Trailers - and the paperwork I received. It states "The Prophylactic Fix will be offered to all Settlement Class members who won FS 2600, FS 2800, FS300, and the Superlite models.
So after calling several numbers at WEEKEND WARRIOR in Perris - and talking to several people on trying to get our trailer in for this repair! and to discuss other concerns on the TRUE weight (tongue and trailer) weight! and the tires being rated at "D". The two individuals I spoke to did not have the answers and suggested I call and speak to a Jason Duncan (Service Manager @ Weekend Warrior in Perris, Calif). So - I placed a call and was able to speak to Jason regarding this lawsuit! and my unit/model (FS30) - I was informed that my unit was not one of the units covered! nor even consider for this repair or having this problem. The only units covered were 2000 & 2001 FS units - not sure on the lengths? 26, 28 or 30 - and the superlites.
So after talking to Jason for 1/2 or so - and trying to figure out repairs that might be needed? Front tongue flex - etc - I was left with a bad feeling. I see ALL OF THESE Warriors FS30's being towed by Ford Excursions on most all the trips I've taken since owning ours NEW (Jan 05) and have been told that our tow hitch - and receiver hitch are not rated for this trailer! WOW! Funny - the place we purchased ours from (Irvine, Calif) checked out our tow vehicle - connected it up - and said that we were good to go! trailing and all!
The setup we have - is rated for 12,500 lbs - with a tongue weight of 1200lbs - The load leveling bars are 1200lbs - apparently not good enough. Suggested that I go to either 1400 or 1700lb bars for towing! which would be a completely different setup -
towing setup. How is that! that the place we purchased this trailer from - who set it up! and NOW - WW is telling me a need a bigger hitch on the tow vehicle and a heavier towing set-up for the trailer! When I asked what it is that I need or should have to properly tow! I'm told that don't know - just something able to handle a heavier load! Any suggestions? Please
