    How do late model A Frames do with the gas struts?

    We traded in our 2016 FR a frame after we had it for a couple of years. Not the only reason, but we were quite disgruntled with Forest Rivers reaction to the issues with burning up the roof actuators (we were on our fourth in a year). Our purchased extended warranty was about to run out when...

    I wonder how my door frame piece got bulged out

    I noticed this today. We've been parked for two weeks and that compartment holds the fresh water stuff so it's rarely opened. It's the fourth one from the front on the driver's side and the hinge side is under the kitchen slide. As far as I recall that door has been locked since we arrived. The...

    Have a 2012 34rlsa we are the second owner. On the drivers side I am having flexing and stress cracks where the wall turns down toward the jack Cedar Creek has denied fixing it. To me a frame is a serious problem and shouldn't crack in less than ten thousand miles.

    Frame rust and spring failure

    This was my first RV in quite a while. I have a 2017 Freedom Express Liberty Edition. The frame is very rusty, with small amounts of metal falling off when I scraped it. I then treated the frame with a product that seals the rust, then repainted it. Is it common for there to be enough rust in...
