What is wrong
On certain fifth wheel travel trailers, there is inadequate support in the front c-channel cross members and gooseneck which could cause the fiberglass cap to be damaged and/or the front cross member to buckle or bow.

If the cross member buckled or bowed on the trailer while being towed, a crash could occur.
Remedy
Skyline will return the units to the factory at its expense, replace the 7-gauge c-channel cross member with a tube steel cross member and return the units to the owners. The recall began on may 31, 2005. Owners may contact skyline at 1‑800‑929‑1080.
