Repair shop had to rebuild mine from being rear ended. Nothing crazy. I did reinforce with angle to strengthin it. I'll see if I can find some pictures.682Views0likes0CommentsRe: WW Repairs
Wizbangdoodle wrote: OK, waking up an old thread to see if anyone else has this issue. I've got a 2007 FTL4005. Every time I use the shower, I get a leak coming down into the storage space underneath the shower. It seems to come down the wall and into the storage door so every time I lift the door I get an outdoor shower! I have caulked the shower twice now and still have a leak. I looked at the drain pipe and no leak there. Anyone else have an issue like this? I had a leak behind shower valves. The hoses come up wall and over time started a small leak when shower was turned on and off. Resulting in a leak in wall and down to bottom of trailer. Look behind shower valve in wall.690Views0likes0CommentsRe: WW Repairs

OK here we go. -Complete new middle section of frame was installed (gusset to gusset) -all connecting bracing which travels from one side to the other was new and welded together (very good welds by the way) -An additional "outrigger" was installed on both sides of the trailer between the two axles. -Bracing was welded onto the bottom of the c-channel frame extending from the bottom up to the lateral bracing extending about 1 foot from frame to cross member -spring hangers were reattached/welded to bottom of frame with an additional 1/4 piece of steel used as backing to provide 100 percent surface area to be in contact. -there are 3 spring hangers (double axle) / shackle hangers located on each side of the trailer for a total of 6. A piece of 2x2 tube steel was installed from one hanger to the other located on the other side of the trailer. This is to prevent any side to side movement when the trailer axles are cutting during a turn. thats about the extent of it. on the inside i know what they fixed but i cant figure out how. All of the cabinets line up, tv is perfect, beds operate smoothly, complete new floor from vinyl back to ramp door. no signs of any fix to be detected. There was a tongue problem. which means that it was a weight problem, however my trailer has the beefed up tongue already they did not touch it. I will try to get some pics up346Views0likes0CommentsRe: WW Repairs
Just so everyone knows. The issues with the frames of the fs2500 has almost nothing to do with weight, unless it is the tongue that needs fixin. The bending and breaking behind the rear axles is due to the lack of cross bracing from bottom of c-channal to cross members. this results in when a trailer is turning and the rear axles starts to cut, the leaf hangers are welded to the bottom of the c-channel, the the frame starts to tweak because there is no bracing. The fix from the factory clearly shows no signs of weight reinforcement but lateral reinforcement. I hope I explained that well enough. If you look and any other trailer frame you can clearly see that this was one thing was over looked in the manufacturing. If you have questions on the fix from my fs2500 just let me know.452Views0likes0CommentsRe: WW Repairs

I have called several times a day. I have an appointment on Monday to take my trailer into the dealer I purchased it from. But, I dont want to take it into my dealer if they wont be able to do anything because it has to be shipped back to WW for the frame repairs. Does anyone know anyone else at WW I can try and get ahold of today so I can find our what I need to do before Monday when I take my trailer to the dealer ? J get a hold of Max. extension 140. ask him what to do next.430Views0likes0CommentsRe: WW Repairs
chrisk500 wrote: Please help with issue! I have a peculiar issue that I will outline here. I recently traded in my 2007 FS2500 with Giant RV. It was a long distance trade as I am in Washington State and had my trailer shipped to them and the new one shipped to me. Long story short, they called today and said that I have misrepresented my trade because I have frame damage which has caused the wheels to tear away the wheel boxes and the floor to become buckled. I had no idea of this condition before the trade and would have definitely gotten it fixed under the recall if I had. Who can I talk with at WW or email to start getting this resolved? It worries me when Giant RV starts talking about bringing legal issues up and says that I should talk with their lawyer (which probably is not a good idea.) Can anyone help me out? Thanks! Chris This is a good one... sounds like the fix is the same thing that happened to mine. However, if in fact that during the trip to cali that this happened then it is legit that a dealer would not want to accept this trade. The good news is that the trailer is in cali already and WW can pick it up from giant for the repairs. The bad news is that they may not want to accept the trade after the repair (much like how i dont want mine because it has been damaged). Get a hold of Max or Donald at WW to find out what you need to do. very unfortunate BUT, why would you want to trade it in when you can get more selling it on the street? they dont give very much on a trade in.447Views0likes0Comments
