Many owners don’t have any issues and some unlucky folks are having issues..
Key contributors ... my opinion.. are
.. rough roads driven over
.. over loaded basement and storage areas forward of front axle
.. lousy welds on frame to wall brace structure
.. inadequate cross beam and gusset supports
YMMV

Thanks for the reply!
I guess that's one good thing about our 5er. We have most of our stuff stored behind the axle, because that's where our basement is.
However, we do have a fridge sitting over the kingpin. That's probably as concerning as anything...
