Bent Main Frame Rail Below Slide - (Picture Heavy)

Hello Fellow Campers, I’m inquiring if you or someone you know has run into where the main frame rail (thin I beam style) bent down behind the rear spring hanger and if you know any of the details ...

Hi Gjac,

Thanks for the reply. The frame rail is a thin I beam shape. Actually more like a W shape but I do not want to even give the hint it is in the class of a W shape. They are also known as MH beams ( manufactured home beam) They have very thin top and bottom flanges and they are parallel. The web and flanges are 0.168" thick. Mine is known as a 10" x 9 lb/ft thin I beam.

I understand your thoughts as they pertain to a channel.

Thanks

John
