Jason,

Good news that the repairs will be done at no cost to you, that is as it should be. However, the description used by Lippert and Crossroads sounds like a smoke screen. If the floor is...

Jason,
The drawing is probably identical to the picture I sent to you. Certainly Vogt can prep the unit by removing the lower skin and front cap. Apparently Vogt has not had to deal with this...

Hank,

Is the extension like your, or slightly longer like mine, or could you even tell since the walls aren't on yet?



I think this is proof that customer feedback can have an impact. ...

Here is my sketch showing one side of the front frame. This is based on measurements I made and some of the pictures that have been posted. While not totally accurate, it is a fair representation. ...

Hank,



Leverage is basically distance times force. In the static case, all that matters is the horizontal distance and the vertical force (gravity). This is the force vector acting on the...

Hank,



While I agree that lowering the pin box increases the leverage, that only applies when you are towing and I don't think you have many miles on your unit. The movement you are measuing...

Hank,



Next time you hook up, look in the closet at the very front of the floor above the pin box. It will probably be bowed up. You might put a piece of masking tape on the front wall flush...

Hank,



Even with your flat floor, there is still a step up right in front of the wardrobe doors ( I think). This is the top of the rear crossmember. The plywood of the closet floor extends...

Hank,



When hooked up that space will go to zero.

OK, here is my opinion, but it also assumes that the old style frame had a single rear crossmember, so I would appreciate knowing from those owners if my assumption is right. If the old style frame...

George,





Excellent photos and you have five bolts with your Roto-flex pin box and that is the way it came from the factory, not 6. Guess Lippert is wrong about 4 bolts being the problem...

Lloyd,



Thanks for the additional input. With the old style cap, your front crossmember is one straight steel box. But from what I can determine, the new style cap has to have an angled...

Absurd claim from Lippert. 1) my unit only has 4 bolts per side but it is a standard pin box, can someone with another Roto-flex pin box comment? 2) If you check your unit like I did by looking at...

Rechecked measurements and took some photos. First, the rear crossmember is a double crossmember, so it is not too likely to flex. The plywood floor of the front closet is directly above the pin...

Unhooked, the landing legs are carrying all the weight so the front of the frame is static and carrying just it's own weight. Hooked, the extended pin box is applying leverage to the two front...

Just measured my unit. It has the standard pin box with the aero cover, so I can't really get a good angle on the bolt holes. But since the new front cap extends further than the front of the pin...
