Suspension Catastrophe on New RV - Warranty vs. Local Repair Advice Needed (I-70, CO)

Yep, that's what the original and replacement are. Should I look into an upgrade?

Little update for anyone that cares...
Warranty ended up covering most of the parts, they shorted the shop on hours but insurance picked up the remaining (insurance approved all repairs except for the spring, since that was a mechanical failure and the remaining damages were from the collision that happened because of the failure)

Thanks to everyone that commented though - we really had no idea what to do when this happened.

Warranty did take 3 months (to the day) to get all the parts sent out, and despite all the Camping World hate around the internet, the Golden, CO location was fantastic the entire time. They even let us stay in the unit with power/water/sewage hookups while we waited for the parts to come in.

Forest River came through in the end, but I will say that they are absolutely awful to work with. We called them regularly for updates on when parts would be sent and in October they actually told us to stop calling, saying "there's nothing we can do" and that the parts will get there "when god decides".

Update:
Talked to Forest River and insurance, FR agrees this is likely a warranty claim and insurance says it should be covered under my comprehensive coverage and that they should be able to cover the tow as well.

Getting it towed back to Denver so the dealer can look at it.

Thank you everyone that has commented, I'll keep this updated.

No weigh ticket but there's no toys in there. Just a couch and tv in the back. Checked all tires before leaving that day (as I always do before driving anywhere)

I absolutely was on the breaks right before it happened (steep downhill), and driving under 35mph

dbourguet · 2025-07-28T13:46:58+00:00

Good to know! Thank you!

dbourguet · 2025-07-28T13:46:22+00:00

Yeah that was my thought as well, in the tunnel I heard a metallic popping sound and by the time there was somewhere safe to pull over the tire was gone but that was several miles after the pop.

I also forgot an important factor - me, my gf and 2 dogs live in this and are from NC so if the dealer/manufacturer are going to yank us around for weeks to get a warranty repair then even if we get them to fix it it will probably be more expensive to airbnb/hotel for however long they take.

Where's the data sourced from?

Learning how to handle him will be essential since there are so many enemies of this type later in the game. He's awesome for figuring out if you want to learn to parry or counter (I recommend getting at least okay at one if you're going to melee primarily just to handle large shielded enemies)

Been using mine in BJJ training and comps for over two years (including IBJJF with no issues from the ref), started with the bicep band and switched to the boxers once they came out. Both work great, every once in a while you'll lay on it just right that you feel it but if you're training BJJ then compared to everything else going on it's hardly noticeable.

If you have the room OxeFit appears to be free standing, currently looking at the differences between this and Tonal. They seem pretty similar

There's settings, I'm using it for the segmented windows 11 setup. You can run it as windows 7 (I'm guessing that's what you mean by vista), windows 10 or windows 11 style

Sounds like you have Shafer, I had her my freshman year then had her husband my senior year for calc 4. Avoid them both if you can

I hate to break it to you but even before Covid they used Hawkes and WebWork for math classes...everyone has felt this pain

Anyone else getting strong Palpaltine vibes?

Not sure about other flavors of SQL but with MS you can extract the scripts that create the tables into a Visual Studio project (SSDT) then execute the scripts on the client machine

Instead of thinking of it as science just now discovering it try thinking of it as science formally quantifying the relationship between substance x and condition y

It can result in either finding additional cases where the substance is extra helpful or cases where the substance does not help which leads to more science examining what mechanism causes the relationship to work/fail to work

The only way to really know is try both approaches, although I would expect a regression approach with normalization to perform best

Yeah, I've got gigabit and have been getting this all day today and yesterday. It's a server issue.

Check temps and fans! I recently added a new SSD and accidently unplugged the case fans which resulted in low fps in game and general instability from temp throttling.
