I've got one cross member that had an "ouch" also. 2X4 and a Hammer solved the lip that was bent down on mine. I think NW pulls them around with fork lift and a hay hook when making them. ;)
If it were me...I would take a pic and separate e-mails to NW and two dealers. So you get 3 opinions, all supposedly "expert". Has to be better pic though. You need to be able to see in the pic you send, if cross member is just bent a little and/or if weld is not longer intact.
NW has been very good to me in sending odds and ends parts to me, even though TT is not under warranty. Dave Mann is the contact person at NW I believe.
We've got 25W
Been thinking about this and maybe the factory has to "persuade" these cross pieces during the build in order to help line up the bolt holes used to secure the box to the frame. We all know that it doesn't take but a fraction of an inch to cause alignment problems.
The welds all look in tact, just this cross piece is bent a bit.
