Coming home one day from a short camping trip, I noticed the trailer moving back and forth an inch or so perpendicular to the pin. Upon reaching home, we noticed a crack in the front slide area from the lower left corner of the slide at an angle toward the front. I removed the filon sheeting from the entire overhang. Using a bright flashlight, I was able to find 2 broken welds in that same area that allowed the upright part of the rv to move on its own while the lower frame stayed straight. We did not reweld that part of the overhang but welded some 2X4 box tubing all away across the front overhang which made it stronger and did away with the movement. The walls of our fiver was supposed to be screwed through the frame into the wall but we found they had missed 7 screws up there too. Ours was a 2004 FR Sandpiper. I believe the small size angle used to support that area led to the broken welds but the screws missing was pure crappy workmanship and QC.
