Underbelly fell while traveling

Wondering if they forgot to completely secure it at the factory??

Were any of your holding tanks full like the fresh water tank? Maybe it came loose, shifted down and pushed the underbelly down? I'd check that also.

( I'm never amazed anymore with the general lack of quality in the RV industry).

I'm thinking they didn't secure at factory but we are traveling with 2/3 full fresh water tank. We will be sure and check that out also. Never thought about that. Thanks!

not sure there is a forest river dealer in our path today. We are kind of in the middle of no mans land right now. It didn't appear anything was damaged...at least we hope not. We will check it out better in a few hours when we get to our stopover place and then try to find a dealer nearby if it appears to have problems. The way it looked was that it just pops in under lip. There are no screw holes anywhere so not sure what is supposed to secure it. I wish it was on a weekday and I'd call Cedar Creek and ask. Oh, we just stopped at rest area to make a sandwich and pendant light was hanging by the wires. We fixed it. The roads were pretty rough a little while ago. I imagine it rattled the light loose. No biggie, we are on vacation. Fixed it and rolling on :)

This is very odd seeing cedar creek uses a pre molded belly that slides in between the frame rails and should be screwed the width at each joint to a 2 by 2

First thing I would do is find out how it failed. Mine would either rip or screws come out. Then figure out why it happened. And go from there.

Looks like you have a 2016 Cedar Creek so that's really strange. Assuming it's still under warranty, I might try to detour by a Cedar Creek or Forest River dealer and get them to just take a look at it to make sure there's nothing that has to be fixed immediately or it will cause additional damage. Good luck. Keith
