WE WHERE OUT CAMPING WHEN MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME THE CAMPER WAS ALMOST ON MY BED RAILS WE PULLED OVER AND FOUND THE STEP DECK BOX AND KING PIN BOX METAL HAD RIPPED AND MAKING IT NOT TOWABLE. WE WHERE AROUND 300 MILES FROM HOME WHEN IT HAPPEN AFTER GETTING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THE METAL RIPPED IN FOUR DIFFERENT SPOTS ON FRONT AND BACK CROSS MEMBERS. AND THE SHOP SAID WE WAS LUCKY IT DIDN'T COME APART AND FALL OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. AND THEN FINDING OUT THE FRAMES ARE KNOWN TO BE A DEFECT WHEN BUILT, AND THE LIPPERT FRAME COMPANY WILL NOT DO ANY THING ABOUT IT MAKING IT A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. BOTH THE FRAME COMPANY AND RV BUILDER BLAME EACH OTHER ON WHO NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND TWO YEARS LATER IM STILL TRYING TO GET IT FIXED THE RIGHT WAY AND TOLD IT WILL COST ME 4 TO 6 THOUSAND TO FIX OUT OF MY POCKET. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE TO FIX A VERY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THERE FRAMES. *TR
