Thank You for the heads up about the frames. I'm a Newby at this RVing. I opted out of the extended warranty simply because of past experience with extended warranties from auto manufacturers not honoring them. There is always a reason, for them, Not to cover anything it's always your fault. Hope my new 2025 doesn't have any major issues.

Me and my wife bought a brand new travel trailer about 9 years ago it had a bent frame I sued the seller finally settled THEY ARE MAGGOTS AND THIEVES WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THOSE THIEVES AGAIN.Cant say the name but they are nationwide dealer Got world in their name

I have a letric folder and it spends most the time in the garage FLAT. I have never foldedthe o0stupid 1thing,

Instead of replacing the tongue on my Starlight (Jayco umbrella), would welding 1/4" plate along the existing frame suffice?

If that happens to me I will drag it to the dealership and leave it in front just off their property so everyone who goes to buy one can see it. Bet they do something then...🤣

I have traveled with more weight than that, but that’s because a I know what the difference between total gross weight versus weight that the axle and camper can hold totally weigh

There having a lot of problems with these new engines. ...i will stick to my 2022 chevy colorado zr2. There still selling trucks with an aluminum drive shaft, unbelievable. Lol

Thanks for sharing I’m currently looking to purchase a travel trailer. ❤

Awesome.

That looks exactly like my trailer. Gettin a bad feeling here. I think the light steel is all about reducing trailer weight. Thanks for your great video.

It appears to have been shock loaded from frost heves repeatedly, failing a little at a time.

What brand was other trailer that had bent frame

I bought a avenger LT trailer and I owned it for two years. I been finding out how cheap most manufacturers are, I've rebuilt most of the items on the inside and after seeing this cause I was getting more information for anti sway kits I now sus and plan on welding up more the trailer frame.

So we just bout a bardn new springdale 1800 bh and everytime it rains water is coming in through the furnace some how. Does anyone else have this problem???

I'm getting that for mine, but in stainless.

Glad to know; I do plan buying a used trailer & thus will enforce the beams. Thank you for sharing!

One word….. AL-KO Kober frames…. german quality….-

Assuring me that I made the right decision to void the warranty on my new ram and to never buy a Keystone. Thank you.

No way that’s a 10.9 1/4

that’s just crap material, firstly never buy a van with an add on drawbar, my van’s drawbar is also the chassis all the way to the rear.

Thank you

Lippert is the RV version of Boeing.

I appreciate the information. Thank you for taking the time. It's ashame America is greedy and can't buy American because it's cheap junk for top dollar.

all kinds of manufacturing companies are racing to the bottom!

Is it possible the weight distribution you run is over kill for your trailer. Also could you have a support made for the propane tanks to move them behind the battery box?

Great video. Thank you.

Be careful of buying any travel trailer built during Covid. Tons of issues.

1\8 inch frame? Thats scary thin. Oh wait, my bicycle carrier uses 1\8.... Oh wait why is the structural frame the same thickness as a bike carrier?

trailers suck i like a motorhome

Our money is inflated beyond what is reported and all the retailers continually try to hide it with cheapening of parts - every modern new thing is cheap crap

Ha 200lbs .i tow with a solid 1500lbs worth of stuff .these new campers are total trash .people are getting screwed .anything beyond 2018 is as cheap as possible junk .

This is all disgusting. Shame on Keystone and Lippert.

There is no relation to weight dist hitchs! You really need to stop! Your bold face lying and flat out making shit up! That didn’t happen from driving over a small dip! Bahahahah driving through a construction zone does not void any warranty!

No they didn’t cause that is absolutely not common! And you know damn well you did a lot more than drive over a small dip! Stop lying!

Goodness, where do these RV companies get their engineers, & designers? They must draw out their design on a cereal box back @ breakfast.

Cheap ass trailers ...but so expensive ..thanks i wouldn't buy this ever I am spreading the word !!

1/16" steel for a frame ???? That's totally outrageous. What about the rest of the length of the trailer? It's going to buckle one of these days. Unbelievable.

1st thing i thought as a retired marine Engineer is " Under engineered" I Australia looking at caravan size we would go At Least your updated wall thickness and maybe larger side profile. they always say You are the 1st person with a problem!!

Asian steel with imperfections & inconsistencies?

The Heavy duty frame mod is how it should have been built in the first place by the factory. I would move your tanks back away from the hitch closer to the front of the camper. I had plans to purchase one of these camper's brand new but after seeing this highly doubtful.👍👍

On my new 2024 zr2 it came with 285/70R17 goodywar terriroty m/t tires. I am thinking about going with 295/70R17 or 305/70R17 new tires by either toyo,yokohoma or cooper. But those skinnies 255 width pizza cutter skinnies tires make more sense for better fuel economy.

Saying they wouldn’t discuss it isn’t true. You told us what they all said, you just didn’t like what they said or the discussion.

I've done a friend's 3500 2021 HO with aisin trans - he hauls 25-30K daily. Ez lynk hwy speed 60-65mph went from 14-16 mpg to 24-26 hwy only. Towing went from8-9 mpg to 12-14 With the same weight.

Great video.. what i have been doing in calling my Congressman. These trailers are fucking dangerous and the manufacturers know the problem and people are losing there lives. Our government is responsible for making sure these companies are safe and they are not..

crazy my 1999 has twice the girth in that area

I too have a Keystone P O S.FIRST THE FLOOR ROTTED,THEN THE A/C LEAKED IN T H E WALL, THEN THE ROOF LEAKED IN 3 PLACES AND ROTTED.I ENDED UP PAYINGNOUT OF POCKET. WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING MFG. BYNKEYSTONE !

Appreciate your breakdown, shocking how light these are built! Mine was underbuilt also. When I beefed mine up I put a cross piece under the trailer connecting the two arms and then a third arm from the center under the trailer THROUGH the previous hitch position extending over 2 feet straight and putting the hitch there. Now I can jacknife the trailer 100° or so and it all pulls quite well, though the overall length is some 2 1/2' longer. My frame was 1/8" but also 4' pieces with rivet plates. Unbelievable. I strongbacked the entirety of it with 3" steel channel tied in to the improved hitch. Gives the trailer a 3" lift which I also like.

That is not heavy enough, look at older pull alongs, I worked at FleetWood motor homes for 20 yrs. They are lieing about never hearing about it. This is what happens when Corporations are allowed to duck issues by the runaround method . And consumers pay the price. This why regulations are necessary. To protect us not the corporate office

I’ve been watching reviews on Lippert and their shoddy products and no customer service.

Typical. The RV industry overall is terrible. Cheaply built crappy products and zero accountability.
