Taking Matters Into My Own Hands (Frame Flex Wise)

Thanks Rob. Learned something about Reflection 5th wheels today. Seems GD began welding a steel 2x2 tube under the lower I-Beam flange, not necessarily for strength, but because the tow vehicles started getting higher. Bet it does help strengthen them though.
 
Thanks for all the info in this post, been a good read for me. Sorry for the ignorant question … is the TSB only for the solitude or for the Momentum line too? And if it is also the Momentum’s is it only a specific model of moment and year? Thanks in advance!!

It is for Momentum's too. Same years as the Solitudes but not exactly sure what years. I think 2021 - 2023 but I am not 100% sure.

@msutoad Correct on the TSB years. However, there is an NHTSA investigation open for both the Momentums and Solitudes from 2017-2023. Don't know where that will go. It is only on the 2023 Momentum portion of the NHTSA website that I can find. I think GD has to respond by end of Jan 2025.
 
There's a YouTuber on the Facebook putting up videos of his frame flex issues with a 2022 Keystone Avalanche. Apparently he had a visible crack on one side of the front deck, and when that side was taken apart, found a frame crack plus 10 or so broken welds. Keystone covered the cost, but did not approve opening up the other side to see what welds could be broken and other issues. I would think that Grand Design would have approved taking the whole front end apart. Keystone customer service is not good which is one reason I sold my Alpine!
