2012 Landmark San Antonio Frame Flexing

Ran our Bighorn with a lippert frame for over 80,000 miles with NO issues, and have a 2013 Landmark without issues. Heartland has built thousands of units, and although there have been some units with frame flex, they are actually few and far between.

Sorry the OP is having problems, but am positive Heartland will make things right....also, don't care who makes it or what it costs, problems can arise on any frame made by man...JMHO.

This BS is why I paid the bucks to buy a HitchHiker; Young's Welding builds the frame.

Have you contacted Heartland directly about your issues?

We had a frame flex type issue on our Montana and Keysotne Montana asked us to take it into the Camping World in Burlington, WA. Montana supposedly paid Camping World in Burlington to fix our unit but as far as we could tell late all they did was something very superficial. Had the same problem showed up in AZ and after getting in contact with Marcus Lemonis, President/CEO, Camping World/Good Sam, he got the local Mesa Camping World people out to our RV Park for an inspection. They immediately asked for us to bring the unit in. They completely removed the whole front cap and found multiple aluminum frame welds that had broken. They repaired it all at Camping World's expense as far as I know. The Burlington, WA CW hadn't really fixed anything. However, after viewing what had broken it was quite obvious that Montana had built a totally inadequate frame in the frontal area. The local CW had to beef up the whole structure to give it adequate stength. Montana should have paid for all the repairs but I don't think they did. If it hadn't been for Marcus's intervention we probably would still be tring to get it repaired properly. We will not ever own another Montana.

I was banking on lippert having this frame problem fixed by now. seems an ongoing problem for 5 or 6 years.now I own a 2012 Avalanche with this same frame, maybe need to put training wheels under the front or just pray it dont happen to Me. I did buy a 5 year extended warranty.

Willing to bet I have the same frame on our fiver. Having the exact flex problem for now two years. Has to get fixed again.
They welded some gussets last year but they broke loose after about 1000 miles.
Lippert frame, but not totally convinced that the frame is loaded right. Seems to be excessive load right at that point.
Jmho.
