We have a 2013 Cyclone 4100. It's been back to the factory for frame reinforcement to stop flexing at the front and consequent damage to the cabinets and frame structure.
They installed a pair of support beams along the sides to support the frame.
We've heard creaking when walking across the floor in the living area and last week there was a clanking sound when I put the slideouts in and out.
I pulled the corplast and was surprised to see that the frame crossmember closest to the front axles shows signs of having been flexed back and forth.
The wire supports are buckled in the middle and one is broken (the creaking came from this one I believe).
I thought at first that someone had tried to jack the trailer up on this cross member, but I believe after examining the problem that it looks like the frame flexes back and forth when making tight right and left turns - causing damage to the cross member.
Please look at the posted pictures and tell me what you think.
Our 4100 is 26 months old now and I'm worried we're going to have trouble getting repairs done to this early model 4100 that has strength issues with the frame,....
Has anyone else had issues like this? If so, how did they fix it?
