There is not a problem with towing the rig as it has not ever been shown to be a safety issue, only cosmetic. However, some have also had the closet floors pushed up and wall inside cracked. It is really a break in the aluminum structure that is sitting on the steel frame.

very interesting, so I purchased mine (2019 3701RD Legacy FBP) Late Aug of 2019 T took it in for the last warranty before it expired in Nov where it sat for 3.5 months. I had a list of 28 items and they approved all but one that was the splitting of Caulking in that area, I assumed it was a dry calk that had likely split.
One would think that would be a red flag to Keystone where they would at least investigate further since I unknowingly brought it up? I cannot imagine they are that devious that would push it off especially if cracking seams are a tell-tale.
I would assume that is not a guaranty that there is an issue but still concerning. Since we just spent 3.5 months in warranty and it is scheduled to go to our summer location (where it will be moved maybe 300' 4 or 5 timers this camping season (with the exception of 1 trip to Montana I will deal with this this fall since it is not a structural issue.
Having full body paint I would imagine that the repair becomes even more complicated...
Thanks for the explanation
