I'll believe it when I see the photos. Trailer frames don't just snap. The frames are mild steel and bend more than break.
The OP needs to categorize the problems and not just let them build up in his mind. There are (1) factory issues. (2)Dealer issues, (3) maintenance, issues, at times it might feel like all you are doing is working on the RV, but things change. You eventually move to a different location on the curve.

Oh yeah they do indeed snap! There have been many, many cases documented showing frame failures with symptoms from "snapping to tearing".
Frame failures
Peruse the search feature of these very boards with inputs like "Lippert frame failure" as an example and you will even find threads dating back to at least 2005 with detailed photo coverage of the very problem the O/P is currently dealing with.
Of particular note are posts by poster "ib516" detailing his experience.
