Cracked Frame. Visual inspection. The frame is Steel. Frame is cracked at weld and across the vertical beam surface. If the frame cracks all the way the trailer could break away from tow vehicle without the hitch becoming disconnected. The left side the frame has a crack all the way across, the right side it is only about 1.5 inch.
Cracked Lippert manufactured frame
The manufacturer is aware of frame defects, including cracks, incomplete, welds, poor-quality, welds, and missing welds. On DRV manufactured fifth wheels from approximately 2014 to current having a frame fail going down the road can cause catastrophic consequences. There needs to be a full-blown investigation and a safety recall for these defects immediately and not leave it to the owners to discover the frame failing after the fact.
I have had four tires come apart since we purchased this RV. All four times it has been the right front tire. The RV is a double axle with the MORryde independent suspension. I had the tire come apart this past Sunday without warning forcing me to the side of the Freeway. The tire damaged the side of the camper. When taking the tire off I noticed the brake pad was not in its proper location, It was falling out of the caliper and the brake caliper was also extremely loose. I couldn't find any mobile service company...

on a Sunday evening, so, I had to remove the caliper, remove the brake pad and reinstall the caliper without the pad. The caliper clips were bent out of shape allowing the caliper to become loose. I had to straighten the clips with a hammer. I Installed the spare tire, turned off the trailer brakes and towed it back to our seasonal campground. Not the safest thing to do but I had no choice. The caliper clips were replaced in July of 2021 because at that time I had the caliper and rotor come loose putting us on the side of the road. Dexter axle sent me improved caliper clips stating that they were heat treated and the original clips were not. They paid a repair facility to install the improved parts. I reported that issue to you at that time and you required DRV to do a recall. I feel I have been extremely lucky that the front tire hasn't caused the rear tire come apart too, causing me to lose control. These issues caused us to be seasonal campers for the last two seasons reducing the number of times we tow it. We have only put 1500 miles on the camper since the first brake failure in July of 2021. I have monitored the tires temperature since our first tire failure. The right front tire is always 20-30 degrees hotter. I believe it is a brake/axle problem. DRV feels no responsibility as we are out of warranty. Copy and paste link for video [[redacted]] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving along I-40, 15 miles West of Winslow Arizona, the tire pressure monitor system had a sudden temperature increase on one tire and then all of a sudden boom, the tire blew out. I slowed down and took the next exit ramp, approximately 400 yards, I began to investigate and noticed that the brake caliper had come loose and wedged on the inside of the rim. This caused friction between the caliper and rim and that is where the excess heat came from. The bleeder valve was also damaged and leaking brake fluid...

and rendered the trailer brakes ineffective. The brake system is held into place by two flimsy metal tabs that become bent during normal use of the braking system. I believe this to be an ongoing problem with the DRV fifth wheel travel trailers and it is very dangerous. My trailer has approximately 3000 miles on it and was purchased new around 6 months ago.
