Jeff - for the “straight edge test” in front of the bedroom slide that you mention...
Is the straight edge testing horizontal alignment or vertical alignment?

It sounds to me if the filon siding on the front section is pulling upward - then the tongue and front section must be bent upward in relation to the main body frame remaining horizontal? To give an EXTREME example - the tongue section points to 10:00 while the main frame rear points to 3:00? And I don’t mean to say it is actually bent that far out - just trying to get a frame of reference for the flex.

Do you know if the main frame is broke? Or does the coach box lift up off of the main frame? Does the coach box “rack” out of square?
