Structure

Summary: On certain 'toy box' travel trailers, improper weight distribution may occur when the back of the travel trailer is loaded with cargo.

Remedy: Dealers will add the necessary weight at the trailer's a-frame, change the trailers a-frame to a thicker steel, and change the trailer's coupler and safety chains to a higher weight rating.
