    Buckling side panels at rear of Solitude

    I have seen buckling of the rear side panels on a few Solitude fifth wheels.
    On one rig the panels were severely buckled and separated at the corner of the rear panel and the side panel on both sides.
    I viewed one rig in the dealers repair shop with the same condition but not as bad.
    this appears to be a serious condition. The dealer had no satisfying answer as to why this is occurring.
    I have a 2015 Solitude and have not experienced this issue. I hope I never do.

    I've seen this condition reported on several Solitudes now. If it does happen to you, I'd contact GD customer service management to see if they'll help with repairs. Seeing as it may be a design flaw, they may help.

    BTW, Welcome to the forum!

    We experienced some buckling near the rear jacks on our Momentum 328M after one time when our rear jacks didn’t automatically raise when we pressed auto hitch. The repair is being covered under warranty.
