I have an 02 lance 1010, before that i had a 4wheel pop up. the lance i have now has wood framing and some rot.

I have built two houses, some off road vehicles and a couple hot rods. Wether its my craftmanship or not:), something always goes south at some point.

I had to google 4wheel pop up I didn't even know what it was. But yes I can see how it could get broken, They do look a little light weight. And being a pop up it wouldn't have the rigid hardside aluminum skin to keep it from flexing. Yes all things can break for sure man.
