Even though our 38 foot 5th wheel was built using 12 inch I-Beams they flex quite a bit more than I expected. This has resulted in a crack forming from the edge of the roof down to a large window (4 X 5 feet) which is located over the two axles on the curbside. On the other side of the 5th wheel is a 14 foot long slideout also over the axles at the front of the slideout. The rear of the slideout is within 2 feet of the rear of the 5th wheel. The crack didn't develop until the 5th wheel was 10 years old and had many many miles including a 7000 mile round trip around the US.
