There is NO obvious bending or damage when the Frame is flexing. That is why you do the Camber check out procedure.

What I meant was, On the units I have inspected for LCI to repair (about 10 over the years), there is no obvious damage or bends you can really see. Once you get the procedure (LCI Lip Sheet 0104 Camber measurement procedure), you will see. Doug

Thanks again, now I have something to ask about.

By chance do you know if the 0104 LIP Sheet was replaced with the 068? This one? 068 Frame Camber Measurement Procedure

The 0104 sheet does not show up on the LCI site but the 068 one does. The 068 sheet is basically measuring frame sag across the length of the camper. The 2 fixed bars need to be the same length clamped to the bottom of the frame rail low enough be be below the axle tub and a string pulled between them is the straight line. Then measure from the line to the frame at the locations they are listing on page 4. This is not hard to do.

I already know the back of the camper is 3" lower then the rear hanger location on the slide side. The door side, is equal at the rear hanger and the end of the camper.

Thanks
