I know of two bumper pull trailers that have frame issues. The one is settling on the sides which has created a hump down the middle of the floor and cabinet issues and such. The other is creating hump front to back from having all the toy weight in the back of the trailer. Both are 6 years old though and have had some rough off road miles, so this was after years of work, I can't imagine having these issues with a brand new trailer.
I am in Las Vegas too, if the trailer is somewhere I could check it out let me know, I would like to see where the frame is giving way so I can compare with others. Send me a PM if you don't mind, wish you the best of luck in a quick resolution.
Just my opinion, once the metal has twisted or bent, it has lost its strenth. I would want a new frame, not just a temporary fix or one that adds a ton of weight. Keep in mind that the $22,000 quotes are likely to add a lot of extra metal to make the fix which adds weight fast, this all cuts down on what you are allowed to bring along in the future.
