Our 2013 denali travel trailer model 246rk VIN [xxx] has had the a-frame portion (front tongue) of the frame detach from the frame on one side. It appears as if the two pieces of the frame had only been tacked together on one side at the factory and the welding was not completed. The driver's side of the frame was done correctly and it seems as if it had been bearing the load because it now has a small crack. The trailer has a minimum of 6,000 miles on it. Two days ago after setting up following a short drive we noticed that the a-frame was sitting at an awkward angle on the trailer hitch jack. This does not appear to be a situation where something broke, the welding wasn't there from the beginning. The trailer is now immovable. We are waiting to hear back from the manufacturer. Several photos are available. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr *dt
