Had you developed any cracks?

Yes, our crack looked just like yours only a little longer. We had one at the top left and top right with a little one at the bottom right of the bedroom slideout. In 2004, Keystone did a repair but it didn't hold. When we took it in to Truck Builders in Marion, IA to have it repaired, we found that there were gussets needed between the chassis members near the king pin, as well as bolts needed to bolt the front part of the chassis to the rest of the chassis on both sides in the propane tank areas.
Yours looks like you will need frame flex repair. Keep an eye on the area that goes down from the overhang to the bottom of the rig on both sides. When you're hooked up, if you have too much frame flex you will notice that the molding is pulling away from the caulk.
Our unit had 1 3/4" frame flex and there should only be 1/4" of flex.
Hope this gives you some help.
