I have read on here about frames welds cracking and axles bending. Are these problems basically with longer heavier TT's driven on bad roads or is this prevalent with short TT's, 18-22ft 3500 lbs or l...

All manufacturers are looking to reduce weight and cost, so many use frames that are very weak. I have welded mine in four places. Look carefully how the main front to rear beams are constructed, if you find that they are pieced together and welded, run. Look at the cross members, they can cause cracks as they resist the twisting. You don't need to be an engineer to determine if the frame might be adequate, but you do need to craw under with a powerful flashlight, you will know junk when you see it.
