    Frame flex is an rvers worst nightmare. Glad Affinity could get you fixed up. The joys of owning an rv 😂. You guys always spoke so highly of theat place and I can see why. Rig looks great!

    Water will absolutely destroy an RV. We take our rig back to Riverstone every year for its annual checkup money well spent. They know the rig and they have all the parts to repair. So far we have not found any frame damage on our rig. 6:00 a.m. yay. The RV should be brand new. Thanks for all the update.

    We have put a lot of money in our 10 year old RV THIS year. It's hard to let go. But maybe it's time. Nice video.

    Wow. That was awesome. I’m happy that lippert and keystone went good for the repairs.
    We had the same issue with the floor in our Alpine. The braces for the floor were all bent. Keystone wouldn’t pay for the repairs. Because we live so far from any service centre that could do the work our insurance company decided to right off our Alpine. Then we had to go trailer shopping

      Yeah, they were pretty cool about it. We had to work around the shop and how busy they were. We hope it helps educate people on how their RV's are built and what to look for.

    So in summation... Bring it to the warranty center so it can be built the way it SHOULD have been built on the factory floor.

      100%, I have a 2017 Dutchman Denali that is the worst built POS ever. Its sad how poorly this thing was put together and it has literally fallen apart over the years with very few miles on it. I bet it has less then 5k miles on it. The rear wall and left rear wall both have separated from the floor, the kitchen slide lower frame busted and the wall bulges out when the slide is in about 4 inches, you can see the ground when inside looking at that area. The bedroom slide has always leaked when open or closed, not sure how or why it leaks and I can't seem to stop it. I keep it under a cover when not in use so not a huge deal and when camping I put a towel where it leaks onto the bathroom floor to soak up the water. Its sad, luckily I got the RV for a good price and paid cash for it about 6 years ago. It was 1 year old. I'm ready to move on though.

    Great job on the video. We’ve had similar repairs done by Affinity as well.

  • @Markhamsonthemove

    That’s not frame flex. That’s that aluminum framing not being strong enough for the torque of the Schwintek slide.

    • @CoddiwompleTravelers
      @CoddiwompleTravelers  Місяць тому +1

      Great point of view. After the fact, and now that we have had time to ponder. We think that another contributing cause was the bow in the floor and the out riggers bending. That caused the wall (that was sitting on it) to sink about 1/2 inch, combined with the slide moving in and out, those welds didn't stand a chance. Thanks for watching!

      @ we have our rig (different brand) in for the same issue currently. One of the more frustrating issues to have in my eyes. We took everything out from under our bed now to prevent any other issues. But we saw the new gussets put in and what they fixed, so that’s good. Hopefully manufacturers just add that extra strength from factory now. Good work on showing the actual issue from “inside” the wall. We missed them actually taking the wall and front cap off 😂
