Oh, to add to these frame cracks, when I had my trailer at the place that found the cracks there was another trailer that came in that had cracks that were ten times worse then mine. He got his fixed as he was just under warrenty, how I don't know. So, there is a real problem out there and...

I welded the cracks up then grided smooth. Then, cut the tiny supports they had over the handers off. Had a sheet of steel cut to fit inside the frame I beam from top to bottm. It was best to cut the sheet into 1 1/2' to 2' sections to get them in. Welded top, bottom, and sides of these sections...

There was no support welded on the inside. The crack was two inchs up from the bottom of the frame where the hangs are located above all of them on both sides. This happens when you make turns or go into corners while driving down roads. If all roads were a staight line this would never happen...

Yes, I had to fix this my self, As no one would stand behind anything. This is a sad thing since there is a real problem here with the frame. Poorly made, no support and not thought out when designed. But hay, You buy the trailer and get bent over when a real problem comes up. Meaning the best...

newbie, I think it was about a little over two inches.

Mite be true if I owned it about four years from what you are saying but, I bought this trailer and a one and 1/2 years later this happens. Lippert has a two year warranty on the frame and there using date of manufacture. So, trailer is built sits on Heartlands lot for X amont of months then...

Yes, the tread is different. The tires that came with the trailer were "D" rated max 65psi and I replace them with "E" rated tire 80 psi and high load rating. And yes, they are a trailer tire not any thing else you may think they are. So, no the tires have not a thing to do with what is going on.

Lippert, they said out of warranty (Trailer was manufactured in 06) They have a two year warranty and will not cover it. On a side note they did say they would pay for half. Using there tech to come fix the trailer and my half was $1000.00. This is to fix there frame that has only been used...

Yes, I have a good idea. The hangers on the trailer has adjustable holes, I put mine in the last hole to raise the trailer up for my truck. Now what happens is you lengthen the pivot point plus with the tall frame that is thin causing the frame to flix. Also, add the wieght of the trailer. They...

Yea, it would be nice if Heartland stepped up and fixed there problem. But, they flat out said that it is not there frame so it is not there problem and that I would have to call Lippert to get it fixed. I have not said a thing for the last four months that I have been dealing with this problem...

Yes, it looks like the paint is cracked but, when you look in person you can see the cracks. After this picture was taking the paint was taking off and heated up. You could whatch the crack grow. Also, the crack was found by a buiness I had some repairs done at. They are very good at what they do.

This you can not see the cracks by the photo but, the crack is by the weld.

Here are some pictures that I have.

Well, like the post says cracked frame. The frame is cracked above the axles in multiple places. I bought this trailer over a year and half ago September of 2007. I started this adventure in july of this year. I first contacted Heartland then, the dealer. Dealer started dealing with Lippert...

Thank you, Bob
