Trail bay 5th wheel- in getting prepared for a trip, I noticed cracks in the 5th wheel hitch, started looking closer & found there were major cracks in the trailer frame. Took to rv repair shop & had repairs made, major welding. Informed by repair shop that this frame (Lippert frame) has had cracking problems on other trailers. The rv shop said I should report this problem.
