My Heartland Sundance did the exact same thing and it ended up going back to Indiana for frame repairs around the pin box and main structure. Heartland paid for the RV to be transported both ways since it was under warranty. Its also a Lippert frame.

The RV industry builds them too cheaply and we are buying them up like hot cakes only to find out afterward that no matter what brand you buy they're all poorly built.
