34Tbok King pin Shroud

My '13 Sabre 34Tbok king pin shroud has broken due to buffeting in the wind....anyone else have this problem? Had to completely remove it this weekend!

Not me- mine has cracked due to rubbing against my Retrax Pro cover, but it wasn't caused by the wind.

Yes and my dealer (RV wholesalers sent me a new one. I had to modify it slightly, enlarging the opening a bit

I have the same problem with our '13. I'm going to trim it to just above the pinbox.

Thanks everyone that's what I was afraid of & ordered ours without one...... They do look nice though. Have been wondering about them cracking or breaking for a long time.

34Tbok King pin Shroud

Mine on my 33ckts broke from the wind also. I sent some pictures to sabresam and was told it was not covered under warranty. I took mine off and tried to fix it but will probably buy another one and fix it so it doesn't vibrate in the wind.

Mine was taken off when I put the Moryde pin box on, as I need to trim it to fit.

I have the pull right hitch. Mine doesn't hit anything but I can see it buffeting in the wind going down the road. Mine is cracked at the top where it bolts to the camper at the back bolt. I made a piece to go between it and the pin box. No more vibrating.
