What some people have done is work both with a dealer =and= a 3rd party welder. Things =have= gotten better, as I haven't seen a broken frame post in a while. There are any number of broken frame issues posted here, but you're likely to have to search in the "archives". LCI and Keystone will likely just laugh at you, mumbling "sucker" under their collective breaths. Check with insurance, but they'll likely call it a design defect and not cover it. Junk build by Lippert and zero QC inspection at the Keystone factory, made this a real issue. I will upload photos once I figure it out. Video descriptions my problem exactly from a 2009 Cougar: Lippert? Going to send an email/call but not likely since it is 10 years old but worth a try. Insurance? I assume not likely since it is a failure/wear and tear. I will have to wait until Tuesday to see what to do.Ģ of the RV dealers near me are suggested I take it to a trailer manufacturer/welding shop (cattle/equipment trailers).Īnyone else have a similiar experience and would like to share their advice. I have contacted a few RV dealers but since I just noticed this on Thursday evening and this being a holiday weekend. Up until now, the only repairs/maintenance, we have done is swap out the water heater this year and tires and lube the axles.įor now it is sitting in my driveway and not going anywhere. We will likely sell it to someone for a seasonal lot and not be able to afford a new one. I know this is not going to be a cheap repair but we love camping. We had made 4 trips to SC and 2 to Walt Disney in Orlando. Scary what I saw as we have just recently return from Myrtle Beach as 16 hour drive from our home in Canada. For some reason I decided to look around the pin box of my 5th wheel. I thought maybe it was just the way it was sitting in the gravel lot. I noticed the trailer was sitting a little funny when I hitched up at our storage yard. We were planning on going camping this weekend. My trailer is a 2010 Keystone Cougar XL-Lite 27SAB Fifth Wheel. The welds have broken away from the frame and the steel has torn on either side of the pin box.
