Lots of assumptions as usual. Did the frame actually break or collapse at the point where the drilled holes were.
Was their actually drilled holes ?
Also was the drilling done per Rams Body guidelines.
Yep, lots of brainstorming here, yet it’s a fact that Torklift makes a drill-thru AND a no-drill thru clamp on version…Though we have no way to know which mount was used, this fact ought not be so readily dismissed, and it’s entirely possible the installer was unaware of this difference - you might be curious how I know, as it happened to me on my previous RAM…The camper dealer didn’t follow my instructions and used the drill-thru mount…Fortunately (possibly due to smaller camper with more forward CG…) I didn't have a catastrophic failure…Either way, the clamp on unit negates any drilling or welding…
