The main structural element I believe common with all my problems is the under-designed frame in its entirety. I have had to have the rear portion of my frame strengthened by the frame manufacturer (Lippert) due to it going out of camber. This has caused numerous slide operation problems as well as continual floor damage inside the RV. There is also too much flex in the front portion of the frame causing continuous body damage. I applied the Vanleigh … Look up ODI 11588034 at NHTSA ↗ | 150.0%ODI 11578767My Vanliegh Beacon 39GBB Fram broke near the 5th wheel hitch causing large body undulations while towing. The frame cracked along a longitudinal beam along to forward section connecting the main body and the over the bed area. This caused major fiberglass damage and an unsafe situation where only one side of the frame was still connected to the 5th wheel hitch. I witnessed the Lippert frame manufacturer's rep review the damage and he engineered a "fix" to be done at the Vanliegh repair facility in Tischamingo, MS in 2021.
