Cracks in walls on our 3750fl
 When we arrived home from the National Rally last week we discovered large cracks in the interior and exterior walls on back upper corners of both slider openings in the bedroom. Has anyone else had this problem? This happened on our way home. We had it at Keystone for two days and they checked the front for stress fractures but not the back. The model year is 2012.
Update: Keystone has authorized expansion joints in the fiberglass near the outside cracks and cosmetic repair of the cracks with no investigation of the cause. The inside cracks are to be covered up so they will not be as noticeable. It seems to us like it's a quick fix without finding the real cause of the problem.

Can you post pictures? Make, model and year would also be helpful. As far as I know this is a new issue.

We still need the model number, such as 3625, 3700, etc., to help.

Not heard of that problem before. Not good. Hopefully you are still under warranty.

You obviously have a serious problem. I would call customer service immediately and plan on taking it to the dealer as Montana will want them to inspect it for them

Can you email one of the more experience posters. Perhaps someone else could post them? Meanwhile are they at the "corners" of where wall is cut for slide. Which slide on the 3750 are cracked ?

The cracks are at the top rear corner of the cut outs on the both bedroom sliders. The longest crack runs the full length of the 7" section from the corner to the seam attaching the rear cap.

Sounds frame related? I have lots of miles under our 3750 and my share of slide issues. But just checked "no crack"s. Please let us know bout progress on getting them fxed etc!

No. It's not overloaded either. When weighed by Keystone last year we were 860 lbs under and have removed things since then.
