Ragen pin box issues

I have a 06 ragen 3405 and when the trailer is hooked up to the truck I can see a small gap between the nightstands and the front wall. When the trailer is not hooked up there is no gap. I dont see any reason to tear into yet. Other than that we love the trailer.

That's the first sign and not so bad actually as some flexing is normal in all 5ers. It's when a gap starts showing on the outside where the side walls meet the front cap when you are hooked up that it becomes more serious. Towing in the rain results in water intrusion and rot. Keep an eye on it.

Thanks for taking the time to chat 2BlueHeelers... looking forward to some travels to the NV desert together. Gotta love the Eastern Sierra!! :)

Good... cause I just bought it... Not kidding. That was the rig I was referring to in my earlier post. Should be fun!! Picking it up this weekend.

Good to talk to you, go get that Rage'n and lets hit the desert soon. You will love it and I have a list of Mod's as long as my arm that will keep you in projects for years!


BTW... as far as I know 2003-2006 were the years that Rage'n had the pinbox problem (pre one piece cap)and I never heard of it in a 3405 only the 3005

congrats.
Looked like a sweet rig, but more than I need.
Enjoy and let me know how it works out.

nope, too big for me. 30' max

Saw that one... you thinking about it?

There looks to be a pretty nice 3405 in Indio. May want to check that one out.

I'm also looking at a 2007 FA3405 and was concerned about frame and bin box support issues as well. We just sold our truck camper and are looking for a 30ish foot TH.

Anyone else have experience with this? One more question... was 2008 the last year for these models?

Thanks!
