Grey Wolf Bent Frame

New member here looking for info!

2020 Grey Wolf Limited 29TE pulled by 2002 Ford Excursion V10

Bought the camper new and go on 10 to 15 trips a year. Mostly short hour runs, longest being an almost 4 hour trip to my parents. Towards the end of last year my wife was following me and told me that one side of the camper seemed lower than the other. I told her it may be the grade of the road and pushed onto my parents place. The camper stayed there and was parked level from October of last year to this past week.

I picked it up and immediately noticed the camper was tracking very weird. Almost crooked down the road. We got on the interstate and the camper was all over the place. I pulled over thinking the hitch need to be lowered due to driving my excursion instead of my truck I sold and it was alittle windy. Back on the interstate and it felt the same way. Got to the campground and looked under and noticed the axels on the door side of the camper have slammed into the frame and bent the frame and the axels.

I limped it back home, jacked it up and the tires have rubbed the wheel well at some point, the axels are measuring about an inch and a half shifted, and by the naked eye the frame is bent down behind the rear axel.
I’m calling tomorrow to get it looked at but has anybody had issues with the camper being totaled out due to frame bending? Only experience I have with bent frames are vehicles so just looking for insight and experience.

Thanks!

Moved thread from the Towing, Tow Vehicles and Hitches sub-forum to the Running Gear, Axles, Brakes, Tires and Frames sub-forum since the OP's questions are specific to that sub-forum.
