We had a severe problem of the frame movement a couple years ago. Turned out to be a broken frame. We ended up finding a local mobile RV repair guy who was also a good welder, and he came to the park we were at to make the repairs. Our frame was broken on the road side, forward of the propane tank. In the photo, circled is the frame component that was completely broken, and the arrow points to where the only weld was on the gusset plate, which had failed. Since the repairs, the frame does not flex at all. While the Filon was down, we also removed the pin box to check that area, and he spent some time grinding and welding where existing welds had failed.
