And there you have it......Lippert even has SOP's and assigned number parts in place. Sort of makes one think why the reinforcement plate and tubes are not used when fabbing their junk to begin with.
They're simply gambling on folks not using the rig enough during the warranty period for the issues to crop up.
This... Based on what I have seen and read its just letting the problem fester and hope warranty is up before it has to be fixed.. Thats how I see it but maybe I am wrong.

Seems people want to blame Lippert. WRONG Company. It is Heartland. LCI just builds the frames to the SPECS that the RV Maker engineers supply. So, LCI gets the gauge metal(Heartland specs) and installs the crossmembers and hangers where the HEARTLAND engineers state to install. When LCI goes out in the field to repair frames, they Charge Back the cost to the RV Maker(Heartland). Doug
I may well be wrong but I would would assume (I know its a dangerous word), that this is a lippert designed trailer. Lippert has there own warranty on it outside of heartland which leads me to believe that heartland i just buying and reselling the trailer. If it was made for heartland on spec it would have a heartland sticker on it not lippert. Just me guessing though.

I finished the frame of my bus in red Rost O Leum primer, three coats then BODY SHOOTZ, four gallons worth. Zero rust 100% adhesion after 33 years. It's been on a pad for the last 12-years.
I have some questions about this but I will leave it until I get this major issue resolved first..
