Beef up (fish plate) “I” beam frame
Dealer told me some people have done this. Adding 10 or 12 feet of plate centred over axels. This should prevent rear frame sag which I think my 34 foot Cedar Creek has some of. Thoughts?

Well you all have convinced me to do this.
I will use 3/16 plate 12 feet long min. I’ll jack the back end up a hair if need be to true it up.
Thanks for your comments.
Are you sure what you call rear frame sag is not frame camber by design? Perhaps a call to Cedar Creek or Lippert is in order? If you start jacking out camber designed in and holding it by welding in flitch plates or stiffeners, you may create issues you currently do not have.
I agree there does become a point where its to rigid, there has to be some flex. Same with the pin box.
