Our Springdale when it was just 2 years old:
Keystone fixed it 100%. I didn't have to claim on insurance or pay anything. New A-frame was far superior to the original.
Moral of the story ... if you are having doubts ... get it checked out. I hit that bump just the wrong way, and ker-splat .... no second chances! Damage done!
If you have ANY doubts about the frame integrity... fix it or junk the trailer.
Looking back, this seemed like a terrible experience, but it really was not. No one got hurt, the trailer got towed to a safe place where the repair could be done, and it cost us nothing for the repair. Granted, it was overwhelming in the moment.... but it always passes. Looking back, it was just another experience under my belt. Would I want to go through something like this again .... ABSOLUTELY NOT! But I embrace the experience!
