Pulling the RV a short drive from the factory in Pendleton to the campground felt allot better. There was allot less movement (maybe 1/4") and it felt like there was a fifth wheel behind me. When I drove over a bump (it was not a very big bump) in the road you could feel the weight of the RV on the truck. The weight was being absorbed by the truck springs like it should. I don't know how to describe the movement before but it was like it bounced.
Judy was told by one of the tech's that the two beams behind the pin are welded together on top. They welded them together here on the bottom.
It appears to me that the pin section of the frame is built separate from the main frame. The pin section in my opinion is very well built and so is the frame but, I feel when they join the two there just is not enough support. They should run the two center beams (which are along side the plates that the pin box bolts to) straight back to a main beam somewhere under the front storage compartment.

Later,
Gary
