Welds on landing gear breaking

I was changing out the propane tank tonight and after that had a look around. The weld that holds the spacers between the landing gear and the frame is cracked at the frame. It is nearly separated and I discovered where the welding had actually burned through the frame. A weld at the leg itself is also starting to crack. I had been hearing a creak in the frame for a while that was new. So now I have a bottle jack under the frame next to the leg in case anything dangerous happens. I will have to do that until we get home and have it welded up right. If I don't hear any creaks in the frame tonight then I know where they originated. This may be an area deserving of regular inspection for everyone as a sudden break could cause a lot of damage when the trailer drops!:(

I can't post a photo right now as we are on the road. I will see what I can come up with in a couple of days. (This means I probably need to get help to post a picture, lol)
