IllustrationTHE WELDS ON THE FRAME CRACKED AND CAUSED THE FRONT TIRE ON A 2 AXLE 5TH WHEEL TO GO TREAD TO TREAD WITH THE BACK TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AND SAID THAT THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I PAID A WELDING SHOP TO STRAIGHTEN THE BENT PART AND REWELD IT. WE ALSO FOUND THAT SOME AREAS WERE NOT WELDED AT ALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MONACO COACH FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE REAR OF THE TRAILER BEGAN SMOKING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECT THE TRAILER. HE THEN DROVE APPROXIMATELY 500 YARDS TO A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND ASKED FOR A WELDER TO BE DISPATCHED.
