    From the picture it is a faulty weld from the manufacturer - note the rust line where a weld should be.

    BTW a mobile welder should be able to do it where it is at currently.

    Lippert CS is very dissapointing with this one. Once they're done you earned a nice trip!

    I hate seeing posts like this. We spend a lot of money assuming that a manufacturer designs and builds a roadworthy frame and undercarriage, but usually we are attracted by the bling. As a welder for many years, I focus on the frame and based on that focus, I would have bought a Arctic Fox fifth wheel! Unfortunately my wife didn't like the inside, and she loved the Solitude 310gk. The good thing about steel is that it can be welded and reinforced, so all isn't lost. If you could find an area that welds were missing and caused the failure, I think I would talk to an attorney to see about bringing legal action. Warranty is supposed to take care of defects, but if it is a design error or workmanship error I would think you could put them on the hook.
