Heartland torque subframe weld crack/flexing/water damage
am hoping to hear what experience owners have had with the sub frame welds crack, hangers are actually shearing apart. The trailer has actually flex bed enough that it’s cause the whole trailer to lean to the driver side. The from cap has popped as a result of the flexing and we aren’t sure the full extent of the water damage. We do know that a 3” lag was attempted to try to secure but the screw would not grab because it’s rotten. Heartland won’t cover it, Lippert will not cover it and trying to get insurance to fix it or total it. However, based on the damage and what we have learned with research this could lead to a bigger issue with the structural integrity. Has anyone had extensive damage and been able to salvage their trailer? Keep in mind we have maintained this trailer very well. Before putting it away for the winter we stripe the old caulk and recaulk to insure that we are keeping moisture out. This is not due to lack of maintenance. See photos for reference, especially how bad the hangers are leaning. My concern is even if attempting to repair the structural integrity and potentially have this thing come apart and killing someone or ourselves.277Views0likes1Comment
