1. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR FACILITY, THE FRAME FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF THE FRAME BEING UNDER ENGINEERED. 2. THIS FRAME FAILURE WILL OCCUR ONLY ONCE AND FOLLOWING IS A QUOTE FROM THE SHOP FOREMAN THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS: "THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE. IF THE FRAME HAD FAILED COMPLETELY, ESPECIALLY ON A TURN OR A GRADE, THE AXLE WOULD HAVE COME LOOSE FROM THE FRAME, WITH CATASTROPHIC AND/OR LIFE THREATENING RESULTS. IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE RV'S, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK IT OUT, OR HAVE IT CHECKED OUT." I HAVE A NAME OF ANOTHER PERSON, RICHARD T. AMES, WHO HAD THE SAME FAILURE. THERE ARE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS FRAME AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEND YOU PICTURES AS SUPPORT
