Hi I'm new to this site but not new on having a WW, I bought mine in Aug of 99 it’s a FS2600.
I have had several problems with it in the last 10 years, and for the most part I really did think it just came with owning one, but little did I realize that others were having the same problems to there WW.
The WW does not get used much and I would guess over the last 10 years I have put 15K miles on it, at the most.
A while back 2003 I blew a tire which caused 7800.00 dollars in damage to the inside of the cabin, and floor, after that I found out that the tires on the WW could not handle the weight of the WW so I replaced all four and the spare. The plumbing decided to start leaking from everywhere, about 2 years ago and I thought it was just time to replace it, so I replaced every thing.
Now mind you I have not even moved this thing since 2004 as we have been using this WW as a home base camp when we go hunting and leave everything in there with the exception of our guns and one 4 wheeler, one stays with the trailer.
I decided to move it this past weekend and bring it home, as my wife has now decided she wants to use it to go other places, and for me that’s great.
When I got it home I noticed that there are some funny things happening to it, and just thought its just ware and tear, but the more I thought about it the more I thought there is something wrong here, so I looked it up on the net and this is how I came to find this place, I read the 40 plus pages of problems and realized I am not the only one here that has this problem, I did receive a recall notice years ago about the fig but mine still works, then I got a notice of a law suite on the tongue and mine was bent a bit, As I scheduled it to get fixed WW went out of business and dealer basically couldn’t do much for me.
Here are the things that I found that are wrong on my WW
The tongue is bent which is pressing against the siding in the front of the trailer, the passenger side siding is coming apart or away from the framing, both on the top of the trailer and ½ way down on the side just above the storage compartment, Inside the Storage compartment the siding is coming away from the frame.
The storage compartment doors are pretty hard to open and close and its not from the locks or handle they are binding a bit
Now to the inside, the rear drop down bed binds on the passenger side when its lowered,
Both the passenger and driver side inside siding and trim are coming away from the frame.
The tongue issue I think I can solve that by either boxing in the frame in front and cutting of the tongue and adding a new one or removing the hole thing and converting it to a goose neck,
But the rear part I’m a bit puzzled by as I looked under the trailer and can’t find much in the way of it being bent, and It does sage in the rear but only about 1 inch, and I thought that could be from adding a lift kit to it, If there is someone that could chime in and let me know where to look that would be nice
Also if there is any one of you that have had these problems fixed away from WW please let me know as I got to get this solved soon
Thanks again

OOooooops thie was suppose to be for chastjw71


The 1/8" tongues on the SL's were in fact one WW's issue's. We have a friend who has 2006 WW FT 2200 he bought in 2005 and the tongue did in fact bend upward over a period of maybe a year or so. Weekend Warrior did fix it by adding removing the 1/8" tongue and installed 3/16" thick tongue and maybe some additional bracing.

You have a 11 year old trailer and I would maybe expect some issues after that length of time. And maybe because it sat for while (where did it sit)is the frame starting to rust. If you blew a tire in 2003, was it the original tire from 1999. If so I would think the tire should of maybe been replaced before then especially if it was sitting around for a while. I'm not that clicked in on the 1999's but it does seems that the trailer is just old at this point and maybe if it wasn't maintained during those 11 years I would probably expect some the isuue's you are having. I'm just saying.

I have an 04 fs3000, been reading all the probs, I have inspected every part of my trailer and so far no issues whatsoever except the floor in front of the 1st swivel rocker is a little flimsy if you jump up and down, no sagging walls all compartment doors close good, frame and tongue look good. ?
