NHTSA complaint: 2022 FOREST RIVER XLR TOYHAULER — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On 10/17/2025 while parked at Bethpage Campground in Urbanna, VA, the roof of our RV caught fire. The fire alarms did not sound the only indication was smoke filling the RV. Thankful this was during the day and we were awake. I felt the walls finding nothing hot then went outside and discovered the roof was on fire. I grab the fire extinguisher and climbed the ladder onto the roof and began putting out the fire. Attached are the pictures that show that there are screws/nails and a metal piece that goes through the wiring which caused the fire. I contacted Forest River and was told they would not cover any damages even though it was a manufacture defect and could have ending catastrophically if my family had been asleep.
