Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FB issues/problems/defects
Unhappy owners of Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FB purchased in May 2013...
discovered the original 13" rims/tires were undersized and only allowed 55 lbs of cargo capacity
..after two weeks Forrest River said they needed to replace with 15" rims/wheels to give adequate capacity..tires now overly worn on outside edges after less then 1500 miles ???
second camping trip the gray water overflowed into bathtub...discovered the gray water tank will only take 9.5 gallons before overflowing..they have vent pipe stuck too far into tank creating an air pocket in the tank..same for Black water
..practically all the pipes water/gas/drain are NOT sealed to the outside allowing road water into the insulation..fresh water tank said 21 gallon capacity , but is only 15 gallons..they say you have to count the 6 gallon water heater capacity??? Not in Fresh water tank original specs !!! Fresh water tank loosely connected to floor
..can move 3 inches either way!! Hot water heater never shuts off..have to turn pilot off/on. scraps of wood sawdust under storage space under bed.
...Toilet defective and leaked into back inner chamber!!!
...stabilizer jacks each had a broken bolt on when purchased
...gas lines were danglining underneath unit by 6"..dangerous..
Serious quality control issues...too bad as the layout with the queen bed is what we wanted and like..
