What's wrong with this?

Sorry for this, i did t see the topic go back to the top of the forum after my last post, so im bumping to try and have it seen.

Bringing back an older thread here, i was out playing with my tt this evening, and went ahead and happened out the corner of my eye a potentially similar situation.

Im only about 1/8th to 1/4 inch difference, but obviously got me paranoid, since the tt is new.

What would cause a frame to twist front to back like that? Ive had the tt sitting in my driveway for a few weeks now, and never noticed it, only had it out once no troubles.

It was dusk when i noticed it, so im not sure now if the bumper has a bit of a bend or what not, but now just freaked out, due to the fact i park on a sloped driveway, and currently have the tongue up 34" to get level. All be it, my rear axles only see about 2" drop between the 2 of them, most of my decline happens further down the driveway between the front axle and the to gue jack.

Who knows how many unnoticed issues our first tt had, it was before i discovered this site, so we basically parked it and forgot it. Now im like a hound dog, sniffing every square inch of this thing, ocd style.

That could very well be. It may also be that one frame beam is shorter than the other. If the whole frame was out of square by 1", I don't see how they could have attached the floor without gaps or uneven overhang in places.

I wrote Cruiser RV about my issue. They responded that they agree things were not symmetrical, they also agree that they should have caught the issue as it went out of the factory.

They also stated that "there is a possibility the floor of the unit may have been installed out of square"

Having admitted all that they do not however, feel that this is a structural issue, just a cosmetic one. They agree with the dealer's recommended solution.

So there you have it.

I think I will write Cruiser this weekend, I'll keep you guys in the loop. By all accounts I had heard good things about them. It would really suck if someone else got stuck with this camper.

For sure contact them. Maybe even twice if they don't get back to you in a week or two. The only way they can fix problems at the factory is if they know about them.

We have a 2012 Shadow Cruiser 280 QBS and I have to admit that ours does NOT look like that one!
