    DEFECTIVE TIRES ON A NEW 2018 CAMPER. CODE DATE ON TIRES IS: 20 15. THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED, CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAMPER. TOTAL TREAD LOSS.WITH ONLY ABOUT 200 MILES ON TIRES.I HAVE A 2018 COACHMAN CLIPPER 125SST, WHICH IS MANUFACTURED BY FOREST RIVER, INC. I HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY, CONCERNING THE TIRES ON THIS RIG. HERE IS THE LIST OF THE ISSUE: 1.WE MADE OUR SECOND CAMPING TRIP TO THE AUSTIN AREA. PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR THIS TRIP, AND ALSO BEFORE WE STARTED BACK HOME, I CHECKED BOTH TIRES FOR PRESSURE, AND LOOKED FOR ANY ISSUES. THEY WERE BOTH AT 65PSI, WHICH IS PER THE VENDORS (KENDA) RECOMMENDATION, AND NO CRACKS, IMPERFECTIONS, ETC., AND, THE TIRE PRESSURE AGREES WITH THE LABEL ON THE SIDE OF THE CAMPER. 2.I WAS TOLD BY THE SELLING DEALER NEVER TO EXCEED 65MPH WHILE TRAVELING. TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, I HAVE ALWAYS TRAVELED AT ONLY ABOUT 60MPH. 3.STOPPED FOR GAS ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE TRIP, AND VISUALLY INSPECTED BOTH TIRES FOR ANY ISSUES. I ALSO FELT OF TIRES, RIMS, AND HUBS FOR ANY WARMTH, WHICH WOULD INDICATE AN ISSUE. ALL WAS FINE. 4.ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME, WE EXITED THE FREEWAY, WHICH SPEED DROPS TO 50MPH. HOWEVER, I WANTED TO BE EXTRA SAFE, SO, I SLOWED MY SPEED DOWN TO 40MPH. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I FELT SAFER TO DO WITH THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. 5.SUDDENLY, AND VERY VIOLENTLY, THE LEFT TIRE ON THE CAMPER BLEW OUT. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE RIG, BUT PIECES OF THE TIRE FLEW OFF, HITTING OTHER CARS. 6.PULED OVER TO A VERY SHORT SHOULDER ON THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. APPEARS THAT THE TIRE BLOWOUT CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO SIDE OF THE CAMPER
