I have a 2005 Weekend Warrior SLC 3905 fifth wheel. I just bought it. I didn't do much research on them prior to, since I had a toy hauler before and figured they were pretty solid. After I bought it I started doing more reading. I am still VERY happy with my purchase and would probably take a lot to change my mind. But I have noticed that mine is starting to suffer from the wall sagging issues. Today my friend and I tried to begin tackling this issue. We go the frame off the ground with jack stands front and rear to relax the frame. We tried jacking up one spot with a block of wood near the entrance door, and it didn't raise the walls at all. It started picking up the trailer, and then we noticed we started buckling the wall inside. So we released the pressure. Is there ANY info or guidance anyone can give me to tackle this? I want to make sure I strengthen this frame and the outriggers before it gets worse as I would like many years of enjoyment from this trailer. I appreciate any and all help!

When they did my fsc3200, they lifted the frame at four corners to relax the frame. The walls were not jacked into place. Relaxing the frame put the walls into alignment. Additional outriggers were placed in the wheel well area. The rest of the outriggers were also re-enforced. this link may helphttp://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/lofiversion/index.php?t224324.html

Thank you for the reply and the link. I have mine sitting on jack stands right now. The tires are barely touching the ground, but I don't feel that theres any weight on the axles/suspension since we can spin a couple of the wheels. My stove cabinet is maybe 1/8 or less pulled away from the wall, and my wheel wells are up probably about 1/8" or less as well. I put a level where my door opening is, and it falls from the frame rails to the outriggers about 1/8". So maybe it's just not bad enough to where it can relax and fully go back? Any thoughts? I don't have a problem the way it is. Everything works, the doors open and close, the entry door doesn't have any issues nor the rear big door. Im just wondering if it's ok to just install more outriggers the way it is, or if it will/won't make a difference if I do.

I had a WW 3905 and for the first 1 1/2 years I owned it it spennt more time at WW factory trying to get the wall sag problem fixed than I had it at my house. be careful because they cause a lot of damage fixing it each of the 4 times it went back . Eachtime they worked on it when i got it back something else was wrong. One of the main things that happened to it is that when they jacked the walls up the sidewall at the corner where the slide is cracked.They way the solveed the sag problem was they doubled the out riggers.

The correct lasting 'fix' is more than just installing additional outriggers and jacking up the walls. In addition to many other things, its critical both frame rails get tied together with 4-6 additional cross members.

Fromn what I hear this is the guy who has repaired many WW sagging wallshttp://socalrvdoctor.com/My 2004 Superlite FK19 also suffers from this on the door side but I don't have the time or patience to deal with repairing a 10yr old trailer. Just going to dump it cheap and start over with something better here pretty soon.

Hmmm. So he worked for THE company that built severely under-engineered structured haulers and now repairs them at a profit. Great business model...
