Recent 2004 Skyline Weekender complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Equipment · reported Jul 19, 2010
The fresh water holding tank falls out of the bottom of the trailer onto the trailer axles when filled. This happened 6 months after purchase from dealership which was the third time we used the trailer. The dealer came out and fixed it the first two times. It spent 3 months in the dealership the last time it was fixed. This has happened now three times in 6 years and everytime we use the trailer. Once the tank falls down it's on the axles and can't be moved. It also pulls out the overflow hose causing water to leak out and into the rv.
