Warning: Cracked I-beams significantly affect RV safety

Are you aware of the hidden dangers of cracked I-beams in your RV? This serious issue could lead to major structural damage and costly repairs if not addressed quickly.

In this video, we dive into the causes of I-beam cracks, how to inspect for them, and why it’s essential to stay in touch with your RV manufacturer. Many manufacturers are now stepping up to help RV owners correct these issues—don’t miss out on potential assistance!

This issue has been something that has been affecting most top brand name manufacturers, Keystone, Forest River, KZ RV, Jayco, and others. I believe we have more than 30 videos alone on frame issues on our YouTube site. We share this information to try and help the RV community, dealers and repair shops.

Join me as I check in on one of our techs, Biggi’n, while he makes repairs to a unit that is on our RV lot. We’ll share critical tips and remind you to reach out to your manufacturer if you notice any signs of damage.

First..never buy any trailer with a Lippert frame…second do serious homework before plopping down wads of money for any RV…you will have no one to blame but yourself otherwise.

Never but a Lippert frame? Are there other frames to be purchased? Which RV doesn’t have a Lippert frame?
