I’m working over our front closet because the glued sawdust/wood grained wallpaper “board” that comprises the floor for the washer/dryer combo squeaks and the staples are coming out from the washer shaking. With the washer and dryer out, that floor comes up very easily and you get a free look at the main beam where the pin box attaches.

I'll share what they allow me to share. There might be an NDA that I have to sign. I'm making the trip without DW so I can spend the entire day(s) at the shop documenting and not leave her sitting at a hotel or cabin. If they have to pull the cap, they may have it for 2-3 weeks I've been told. They are also looking hard at the suspension and electrical wiring above the ceiling. I have a list and some asks but the reason for the factory service is frame flex. We'll see.
EDIT: IF they find little or no frame flex and I'm comfortable with the repairs (like re-welding and no box damage) AND they find any suspension components compromised again, I'll hop over to MORryde and make an appointment.Last edited by ajg617; 03-10-2024 at 05:52 PM.

I've been pestering Lippert about the max pin weight rating after reading your post. Engineering response from LCI yesterday (phone call) is max pin weight for a chassis is 25% of the RV GVWR though they are built to exceed that number. So for the 310GK at 15K GVWR, it would be 3750lbs and at the 18K GVWR would be 4,000lbs keeping in mind that it is the same physical chassis but an upgraded suspension only. Be interested to see if you confirm or find something different.
One of the other interesting items they told me was that the 1621 chassis is not exclusively used by Grand Design. Found that comment interesting since it implies that LCI may design frames to address multiple RV manufacturers requirements.Robin & John
