ED&Kim, I think the 2000 model year had the smaller frame and some problems that resulted. Keystone has a fix for those to strengthen the frame. Those who had it done reported the frame was then much stronger. You might call Keystone and ask about it. Have your VIN ready. In the past, this fix was done at no charge and could be done locally rather than at the factory. But I don't know if they'll still do it for free on a 9-yr old rig. It wouldn't hurt to ask. Good luck. The subject frame is an 8 incher. The newer ones are 10 inch frames.
Steve,
I doubt that Keystone will pay for a nine year old rig. They wouldn't pay for mine when it was six years old. But there's always that chance that they might. I'm one of those who feels that the work I had done on our rig to reinforce it was well worth the money spent. We had an expert do the repair. I say expert because he builds trucks! Big trucks!
