A friend of mine had that happen to his 5th. He had it repaired by the dealer. In his case (not suggesting this may be same issue) the most likely cause was he would lower the rear stabilizer jacks then raise the front of the trailer with the electric landing gear. This can easily result in a lot of pressure on the corner of the frame (much more than merely cranking the stabilizers) if one side is on softer ground than the other side.
My recollection is that it was not an expensive repair. Since the repair, he stopped lowering the stabilizer jacks before levelling and has had no problems since.
Just throwing this out for info purposes as to possible cause.
