Funny thing is we didn't have much at all loaded in the front of the trailer. It wasn't even full of water (tank is under bed in front of trailer). Black and grey water were empty. The trailer wasn't even close to carrying capacity. The tongue frame actually bent. The welds held, but the tubes crushed and bent like that. I had to switch over the shank to get it to ride higher while we crept onto the next town.
They replaced the tongue tubes with almost double the thickness and put back the battery carrier, propane holders, coupler (silver so I'll have to get it painted), etc. It isn't quite factory, but for a weld shop in a small town they did a great job.
The owner of the shop said that he is seeing this more as the trailers are getting lighter and lighter.
My insurance denied the claim as they said that it was an accumulating defect and I am waiting to hear from Keystone.
