What is wrong
The 5th wheel trailer frame rails are fabricated from I beams. The web of these beams can crack above the axle attachments.
Risk
Cracking of the frame rails above the axle attachment can cause control problems for the tow vehicle operator.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the frames of these trailers. If cracks are detected, the area will be welded and a plate will be placed over the area using 1/4" flat steel. Rerouting of the holding tank drain pipes may be necessary on some models.
