Forest River bent frame

Towing '08 Cedar Creek Day Dreamer(34RETSD) from Reno to Georgia I experienced a catastrophic frame failure behind the front axle(first indication of something wrong was left rear tire going flat from chaffing on slideout driveshaft). Didn't know, at the time, that frame had rolled over toward right side of trailer. I jammed the driveshaft out of the way of the tire and drove on. Did't find out reason for chaffing until months later when I was getting it ready to sell. Insurance won't cover it and Lippert and Forest River are un-responsive. It's unrepairable, untowable and unsellable. Still owe a ton of money on it. Anyone had similar experience or know of anyone who straightens/strengthens trailer frames? I've had two adjusters tell me that it's a total. Nothing left to do but relinquish it back to lender.

Well, seems your first issue is that you didn't stop and ask yourself at the time, Why is my tire suddenly rubbing on the slideout drive shaft!!!!

I agree with many here that this should not be a costly or complicated repair. I would believe that and good welding and/or trailer frame repair sgop should be able to fix.
