Frame issue
Recently had a issue going down the road now believe I have a damaged frame. Anyone know of a place in the Dallas area who can handle frame estimates?

- I guess we racers routinely tow more than the experts that never tow anything think we should. I have towed my current trailer more than 1/2 a million miles with at least 3 DPs and not so much as any problem with them structurally. I once locked them up hard enough to flatten all 6 tires on the trailer and bend the ball area of the Reese hitch up 45 degrees. No damage to the coach. Should have one of Joks trailer toads but not yet.....you be sure and let me know how this turns out.

You need a hitch that has a scale on it to show your tonged weight, I have a open stacker trailer that weights around 6800lbs that I tow behind a gas motorhome, the chassis in back has been beef up, air bags added and upgraded hitch and I have the Jeep sitting back on trailer to keep the tongue weight at 600 lbs.
I guess even the diesel chassis have a weak spot, these motorhomes have a large over hang in back and they can be bent when towing even within specs..
