While driving i had the frame ibeam break above rear passenger side shackle that holds the leaf spring and axel to frame. This was the actual ibeam/frame itself that broke about 2 inches above shackle weld. After further inspection we found an additional crack that started in the frame above the driver side rear shackle as well. If it broke it would have meant complete loss of axel. Luckily the leaf spring on passenger side with shackle and frame pined against bottom of frame.

We have been having problems with our slide out for 2 years. The slide mechanism kept getting damaged/"chewed up" and kept needing to be replaced. We could not get the slide to go in or out on its own several times over the 2-year period. After 2 years of taking it for repeated repairs, a Lippert tech came to the shop to inspect it. Per Lippert, the manufacturer of the chassis, "Inspection of chassis found cracks in mains at crossmember near center hanger. Hangers start to roll in one direction. Front header bent." We were told verbally by Lippert that there are, "Cracks in iBeams and unit is deflecting - rear of unit sagging - causing issues with slide." We now also have water damage in the opposing slide at the rear of the unit as well as mold, something we only recently discovered as we do not access that area often.

The spring hanger are bent as is the frame of our Grand Design Imagine 2022 travel trailer. Axles could have fallen off at speeds of 70 mph on I 95 in Sould Carolina. Our lives were in danger. Problem has been confirmed by dealer. Components would not pass NYS Indpection by insurance and Wilkins RV Victor NY. First appeared after driving home from Florida 1250 miles. Many lawsuits about this problem and cracks and tears in frames.
