The bumper recall fix has been completed on our 26SAB 5th Wheel. The “kit”, which took 4 weeks to arrive at my dealers, consisted of 4 pieces of angle iron and 2 pieces of box tubing.
When the service manager saw the contents of the kit he could not believe that Keystone didn’t simply email him the specifications for the angle and box tubing which he could have acquired locally.
One piece of angle is welded on each side of where the frame joins the bumper. The piece of box tubing simply fills the gap as the bumper height exceeds the frame height. Welding does not appear to be the service technicians strong point, but it is consistent with the quality of the factory welds.
