Wow! The photo says it all. Start with Dinuba, but since TM fabs their own frames at the plant in TN, my guess is that you will be referred back to the factory PRONTO.

Never heard of this problem. Please let us know how the solution progresses.

I'm real nervous about how this is going to play out. I am not willing to tow the TM in it's current state. I will not assume that level of liability. I can only guess what happens when one side of the frame completely fails while towing.

Either someone has to come to my house to fix it or someone that knows what they are doing needs to come to my house, load it onto a hauler and properly secure it for transport. I don't think it can be hauled with any weight on the swing away tongue. And I don't think the front jacks are designed to carry the weight of the TM bouncing on a hauler. There would need to be some cribbing or some other way to support the front of the frame without using the swing away tongue and without using the front jacks.
