I have a 2008 3500 RL, after the 26[SUP]th[/SUP] month of ownership it developed a front frame failure. I contacted Handland and was told my warrantee was out. After numerous emails and phone calls they agreed to make a repair. The front bulkhead that you all are speaking of has been a problem ever since I had the frame failure. At the time of the failure the bulkhead was sagging so bad that I had to install screws to hold it up from contacting my truck bed. I took my trailer to the Heartland factory for the repair. They replaced the complete bulkhead after the frame repair. When I picked it up the brake lights did not work and they didn’t have any technicians available to fix it so they sent me across town to a dealer they used to repair the lights. They had to remove the bulkhead to look for the wiring problem. When they removed the front half there was water in there and both the guys working on it said that the water shouldn’t be there. They looked all over the area and only found that bracket for the awning that it could have come from. I wanted to take it back to the factory but the guys said that Heartland would just tell them to deal with it. They dried it out as best they could and said that it would be ok. The temperature up there was in the teens, December. I took it home (Oklahoma) and left it on the storage lot until April and everything looked fine. Then in May we started that 105 degrees everyday thing. I think it was June when I brought it home to inspect the brakes and I found the whole left side of the bulkhead had delamination. This is my opinion; I think that how this panel is made is the problem here. I feel that when the fiber glass panel and the backing panel are glued together something isn’t right, bad glue, bad process, air pockets, workmanship. I am trying to find out who makes these panels, Heartland, or is it contracted out? This can be repaired but if you order another panel and it is defective we have wasted our money. Heartland needs to check it’s quality control on this panel and if it is found to be defective they should offer us a fix. I am willing to buy a good panel and replace it myself, maybe they could pay for the shipping, that would be fair I think. What say you guys?
