Refrigerator breaking top mount board

Hello,

Has anyone else had the board break in two places where the refrigerator mounts?

My 326MKS initially developed a break on the right side (facing). After a trip to Tennessee this weekend we found that the left side was also breaking out. When I had the trailer in for service during the warranty period I mentioned a small crack had appeared on the right side. They didn't address it. Now my Pee poor "limited warranty" has expired and Keystone refuses to fix what is an obvious defect.

Anyone with half a brain should know that particle board won't support a refrigerator. Especially one moving while being towed!

Looks to me as if the mounting screws are too close to the finished side of the cabinet and are pulling through.

I think so too. But, until I can get Keystone to acknowledge the problem, I'm not doing anything about it.

I doubt if they will give me any relief, but perhaps they will change the design so it won't happen again...

My dealer Loveall RV, Columbia, MO has agreed to fix the problem.

I'll post what they find when they get it inspected and what the fix is.
