RE a couple of quotes from the posting above by Ed and Carol:
" the forward rectangler tubing beam that the pin box is welded to had metal fatigue and tore. When this happend the four inside corners of the pin box tore and caused the rig to drop from 8 inches above the truck side rails to 4 inches and the closet floor to raise 4 inches inside the rig."
AND, THEN.....
In contacting Team Montana they said since we bolted brackets on the back frame to hold a cargo basket for our 2 bicycles, that voided the warranty, and they will not fix the problem."
I'm confused...what the h---do the bolted on brackets on the rear have to do with any frame failure condition on the front?? If it was a failure at the rear, maybe, but in the front!! Seems as though extra weight at the back would only lessen the stresses up front, if the total weight is within limits....what's going on here?? Is Keystone looking for a B.S. excuse to avoid standing by their product? Sure hope not!! Companies live on their reputation for honesty...when that goes, so goes their business.
Folks contemplating putting on a rear hitch to haul bikes might want to consider Ed and Carols's input..
