Hi
I'm not very familiar with the forum but will try to add to it. We towed our 2004 Montana 2955RL to the lower 48 during the winters of 2010/11 and 2012/13 with a 2007 Dodge 3500, 6.7L Cummins diesel. During our return trip this year the frame holding the hitch on our 5th broke.

Cost us $3,500 to get back on the road at Tok, AK. More repairs are needed too. Is this a common problem?

We were totally surprised and disappointed. We are not as positive about 5th wheels anymore and suspicious of 5th wheel frames.

I added two pictures of the crack in the 2"x6"x1/8" rectangular tubing.
