I realize that no one is suggesting negligence on my part. I am a Journeyman Electrician and Journeyman Instrument Mechanic. I have over forty years in Industrial settings, mills, mines, manufacturing, maintenance etc. I have a very good idea on how to properly treat equipment so that it lasts.
Case in point: 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport.

You may check if here is a large truck frame shop near you, perhaps in Saskatoon. They have equipment to do trucks and trailers, and at least give you some advice. Sorry for your problem--good luck--

I am surprised that the leveling jack does not have it's own cross member. I have a Forrest River 5er considering a GD for my next one. I have the leveling jacks with a crossmember and a Norco/BAL frame. Norco/BAL are the greatest! I had a rip in the frame around a cross member. They were going to ship parts and drawings to give to a local welder and offered to do it if I would bring it to Elkhart. I have relatives in Ohio, so I took it to him because I have relatives to visit in Ohio. They did the work free of charge. Great service! I am still considering a GD because my friend has an Imagine that looks well built.

If the jack point and frame were damaged It could have been done during the delivery to the dealer or at the dealer. most dealers use fork lifts or and old truck to move the 5th wheel trailers around. there are a lot of damage that occur on the dealer lots.
, cramped space and getting in a hurry and lack of training on moving units around.2019 Ram 3500 DRW

2022 Reflection 337 RLS - frame twisting
Based on the pictures provided, this looks like an original and systemic issue from the manufacturer. The reason I say this is that the entire rail is shifted. It is not localized to the jack area. To me this is more than a localized frame failure. The use of the jack in this condition with the additional side loads introduced accelerated the failure. No negligence that I came see. This would have happened no matter what.
At a minimum the chloroplast needs to be dropped and close inspection of the welded cross members performed.2019 GMC 3500 SRW Sierra Denali Duramax

Great News!!!
GDRV has agreed to pay for the repair at a local frame shop.
It took awhile, but it looks like a satisfactory resolution is ahead!
Thanks for all your input, I will keep everyone updated.Peter Hoemsen
