OP here:
Well, to wrap this up hopefully for now and forever, I got the rig back from the repair shop. You can see from the photos that they welded the break where the cross-member attached to the frame and rebuilt all the webs in the cross-member. We'll see if it hold up.
They dropped the bottom coroplast enough to look at the other cross braces and none of them is broken.
They said two other things:
1) Morryde X-factor braces would help
2) LT tires put more stress on the frame when scrubbing sideways!!
$1100CDN for the repair. No word from Keystone, Thor, Dutchmen or whatever they are these days if they're going to help out with the cost.
