Sounds like fleetwoods version of "hitch pin wield " problem

I guess all mfgrs have problems. We just don't hear about them.

The best part is the fact that the 18 Wheeler drivers sandwiched the trailer to hold it together. Wish more people could think like that!

Back about 5 years ago when I was a "heavy vehicle test driver" at Bosch Automotive Proving Ground in northern Indiana, we had a couple well known RV's to test. Both were class "A"'s. On one, both frame rails broke just ahead of the front axle. On another the wireing in the one of the rear compartments caught fire while on the high speed oval. These were high dollar units.

Fleetwood should reward those truck drivers.
