Curious as to how many trailers have had frame issues that were under warranty. I have seen two fifth wheels with cracks
up front but that was after many years of service and loaded to their maximum weight rating constantly. A 21 foot trailer has
what two main frame rails and some crossmembers. Any issues that do come up, and highly unlikely, could be repaired by
the fabricator making your hitch. As a professional mechanic and welding since I was a kid I have some background. I say do it.
Our previous RV (bumper pull toy hauler) had a major frame defect. Luckily it was covered under warranty ahead of a massive recall and attempted class action. The details are chronicled in the "WW Repairs" sticky thread in Toy Haulers, if you're bored and want to read some RV history.
Personally, I would take the frame's warranty seriously. Our rig was a rolling total loss without their repairs.
