Frame Flex Broken Welds Cracked Walls - Full Time RV Living EP46

We were hit by frame flex or frame failure last year and have broken welds. We have gone one service center and had repairs completed but the welds broke again. In search of a better fix we come across Affinity RV in Goshen Indiana and hope they have the solid solution for us going forward. We walk you through the build of our Vanleigh Beacon to demonstrate how a 5th wheel is constructed and how it is impacted by frame flex. We also demonstrate how frame flex impacted us and then Rod's team at Affinity RV firm up our wall like no other. This repair was covered by warranty for us but was a cost at around $5500.00. I am told today the price is around $8500 for the same repair. 00:00 Intro 00:42 Construction 01:55 Frame Flex 03:00 Our Break 04:29 Searching for Better 05:14 Affinity RV 06:00 Tear down 07:35 Build Up 10:05 Closing it up Our RV Essential Starters: Our TPMS https://amzn.to/3vmAud3 Surge Protector / EMS https://amzn.to/36rnVos Water quick connects https://amzn.to/3M8s7bR Water lead hose https://amzn.to/3JPCLCK Water splitter https://amzn.to/3jM4wBz HOLD THE POO https://amzn.to/3EkRXGK Sewer hose support https://amzn.to/3vnNrDh Best Sewer hose https://amzn.to/3rzcz97 Use these for Stability https://amzn.to/3JR45kb Pressure Regulator https://amzn.to/38YDpBa Safety Flares https://amzn.to/3KRS13n ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Video Gear: Joby Gopro mount https://amzn.to/36l6S7h Our primary A camera https://amzn.to/3k4jHq5 Mini tripod https://amzn.to/37WP6HY Do we sound good?
