That's not good. Can you get in there at all to get a better look at what's coming apart?

Warranty job. It will probably have to go back to factory. There was a guy who,had the same problem at our campground. He just picked it back up from the factory. He lived in Texas.

Most of the time around here, a Lippert welder is sent here to repair. I don't see them towing it 1000 miles risking busting the fiberglass sides. But I've been wrong before when dealing with campers.

The guy at the campground told me they took part of the fiberglass off welded many gussets to get it up to factory. At the factory they found many welds that was bad on the frame, they had to remove a lot of the skin off according to him.

I would not trust the Lippert mobile tech to fix your rig Monty. They are on the bottom of Lippert's food chain and totally cluster f'ed my slide when it had a broken gear pack. Let them ID the issue and maybe patch you up to get you to Indiana. But, don't let them be the ones to do the final repair.
