BROKEN WELDS IN THE FRAME IN 5 DIFFERENT PLACES. The dealership in Grand Junction Colorado has told us the rig is to unsafe to tow it off their lot. The dealership in Grand Junction Colorado are the ones that diagnosed the broken welds in the frame. The RV has not been inspected by the manufacturer. Manufacturer has only asked more questions and asked for additional photos. We walked into the RV and noticed that the cabinets had moved and the trim was hanging down. We first noticed this on June 5th. Called the dealership on June 7th to make an appointment to have them inspect it. The appointment was made for June 16th. That is when they told us we couldn't use it.

The front area where the pin box connects to the truck has multiple welds are breaking on the structural frame causing these trailers over flex while driving down road. There has been multiple cases of the front deflection being out of spec on multiple trailer. With these welds broken it can cause the trailer to separate where the truck would hook up to the trailer and if the concern is not addressed.

We used the gas water heater on our Rig. Come to find out, it blew the cover off the water heater, burned the wires and melted the case. We are very lucky our rig did not catch fire.
