I have a 2018 Reflection 337RLS. On my last trip in January, I noticed the plastic spline covering the relief cut below the bedroom slide popped out. I put it back with some sealant. When I got home, I noticed the interior corner trim on both sides in the front closet had popped off. When I put the weight onto the landing gear, it looked like a lot more movement around the pin box than I have ever seen before. I did some internet searching, and now that I found my way out of that rabbit hole, all these symptoms together point to either a cracked weld or frame member on the chassis, or possibly on the aluminum wall framing. The internet has some instructions on taking measurements with the weight on the landing gear and then on the pin. There is an allowable difference which I don't remember at the moment. I have almost completely emptied the trailer for winter storage (trying to create a less-than-friendly neighborhood for mice). When I'm done with another project in the underbelly, I'll put all the weight back in and take the measurements the internet recommends. If the difference is too much, then the plastic under the overhang has to come off to get a look at the steel frame.
I saw a post on this forum about a similar event and that owner got some very high quotes for repairs earlier this month. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
