Default Another cracked frame

We were planning on leaving for a trip tomorrow, and noticed a huge crack in the frame, right at the welds for the swing-away tongue. This is at least the third instance of this problem noted on this forum. Our last trip was to the Jubilee in Colorado Springs and we did not see any problems at that time, nor did we have any "incidents" on the way home. There's no way we could have made it very far in this condition, so it must have happened very recently (of course, it could have started as a small crack a while ago).

I have called the factory and they are going to get back to me on sending a mobile welding unit to the house, because obviously the trailer cannot be moved in this condition. I'll keep you posted, but if you have a swing-away hitch, check for cracks.
