Tracer air 240 2013: Steel Frame bent

Hi, i have a issue with my travel trailer, and the dealer never seen that.

Where the H beams is curved and is soldered to join the pole, i can pass a finger between the floor and the beam. Also, on the front, the rock guard is bent where the H beam pass. It seem to get worse as i travel. You can see pictures of this.

What do you think about this?

How it can be repaired?

Looks like the frame is failing, serious safety issue IMO. I would contact Lippert, the frame manufacturer and see what they say.

Bad frame or your camper needs a diet.

In picture #4, is that a weld on extension part of the frame? They did that on my Lacrosse's frame at the back of the camper.
What you have dont look normal. I agree on contacting Lippert and Primetime as well.

Do keep us posted

It's the junction of the front A frame with the H supporting beams. I already contacted primetime and they said that the warranty is expired. I am waiting for the reply of Lippert.
