AS I've said before, I don't think I have a problem with the pinbox area welds. I don't see anything out-of-place inside when hitched up nor do I see anything amiss outside.
However, I recently installed a wireless remote control for the landing gear. The last time I hooked up, just as the trunk was starting to take the load, I went inside and sat on the bed while I retracted the landing gear.
The Monty creaks & groans a bit (which I expect). There has GOT to be some amount of flex with that much of a moment arm. What I didn't expect was near the end when I thought it was all done when there was a sharp jerk while the front end settled very suddenly for a short distance (1/8 or 1/4 inch???)
I've been considering dropping the bottom panel under the overhang to run some wires up to the pinbox area. If I do so, I would expect to be able to inspect the welds in question and be able to see if anything is starting to crack under load. What do you all think?
