This is my second report with two different incidents of failure. These failures are connected to the Lippert frame of my fifth wheel trailer. While, traveling in Indiana near Gary, Indiana my leafspring on the rear axle on the driver side gave away, causing the trailer to veer hard to the left. Fortunately, there was no one to my left and I was able to regain control and get to the shoulder. After inspecting, I determined that the pin holding the leaf springs together sheared off after going over a bridge expansion joint. The second issue I discovered this spring is that I have two significant cracks in the upper deck frame, causing extreme frame flax. Lippert is refusing to cover the fix
I purchased this vehicle new July 14, 2022. On its first trip, I noticed a gap starting on the side panels near the overhang of the 5th wheel. I reported this to the dealer and they determined that there was excessive flame flex. The vehicle had to be taken back to the manufacturer to be repaired. Iâm still having issues with frame flex. This 5th wheel weighs 18,500 pounds and the fact that there is broken components to the frame put all of us at risk of great bodily harm or death. This is an issue in the RV 5th wheel industry that needs to be addressed immediately.
