I know on mine, Keystone and the dealer ripped it all apart. The frame was good, but the wall kept cracking due to a bad cut out for the slide out. it was not a nice router job like you see on the video, but a hacked up edge with lots of sharp edges. the crack emanated from the slide cutout and the more I drove the longer it got. started as a 1/4in crack ended up around 7 inches long by the time the driver from the factory came and picked it up. now I have a whole season on the repair and no cracking. I would have Keystone fix the wall, and like you suggested look for the underlying cause.
