Welding On Motorhome
I have a 2006 Newmar gasser, can I weld on the frame on the back of it and not hurt anything? Any Ideas would help

If it is Workhorse, you can not weld the frame. It is in fact heat treated. Workhorse very specifically states do not weld or even drill the frame. People may state that they got away with it, but they didn't ever test the strength of the frame afterword.
Dave you make a good point, but the MH manufactures weld frame extensions to the rear of the frame and weld multiple pieces to the frame to mount the house. When I was touring Tiffin in Red Bay they was MIG welding on both Ford and Workhorse frames with no post weld testing. Why is their welding any different than the owner welding on the frame?
