With all due respect I beg to differ. Frame flex is a generic term that doesn't apply to just an RV. Walls dont crack for no reason. Frame flex isn't confined to a cracked or broken weld. The frame itself can twist and flex due to poor engineering. Something has to cause a stress fracture. Physics, mechanical engineering, would suggest that the the big hole cut in the wall flexed causing a stress fracture. Otherwise what else caused it? Not trying to argumentative but would love to learn from this if there's another reason.


Good luck OldJimi
