to the forum and sorry to hear about your Fifth Wheel frame issues. There have been some members who have reported similar problems, but there have been many more who own fifth wheels with no problems. This includes Montana owners. The Alcan is a rough road, one that I hope to "conquer" next summer. It takes its toll on even the most well built RV's and every day owners of rigs of all kinds find problems caused by the Alcan.

I have a very good friend who bought a new Seabreeze motorhome in the mid 90's . She and two of her good friends went to Alaska via the Alcan. They vibrated half the front windshield out of the motorhome in the first 500 miles. Additionally, they lost 3 tires, a side window and one of the air conditioners came partly off the roof. Maybe Seabreeze is a poorly built motorhome, I just don't know, but the Alcan does make for potential problems even with "good" rigs.

Best wishes for complete repairs of your fifth wheel and no further problems.
