poor frame design on travel trailer

The picture Old Biscuit posted is exactly the design of our TT, and illustrates the issue...imagine the A-frame in that picture hadn't failed & creased, and instead was straight...visualize how low the w/d bars, safety chains, and umbilical cable would be to the ground...And, the mud flaps on the truck in the image leads me to believe it's probably a heavy-duty series (maybe a dually) that would sit higher and have a heavier suspension than our rig...I'm over 500 at the hitch, dry with no load in bed, on a 1500-series truck...w/d bars have six inches or less of clearance from the roadday

the least little bump, dip or incline and everything at the hitch point bottoms out and scrapes

Probably won't trade truck or trailer just now...I'm pointing this out for the benefit of others...something to look at when considering a particular TT
