[rknight111]

Looking for someone that has a portable welder on a truck that can come and shoot a few welds on my fifth wheel hitch. I can have it ready and be out there anytime Thursday or Friday. let me know. Pm me and I'll shoot you my number. Looking for someone in the area if possible.

Or any recommendations. The frame in the front has broken, the welds came apart. I need some welding patches in a few areas so I can bring this home and rebuild the front end properly. Not to impressed at the workmanship says its built by Zieman chassis in Whittier, Calf.

Looks like there is a problem with these, if you have a fifth wheel look at this.

Help! Metal sheered off our hitch/pin box? (pic included!) - Forest River Forums

Wow, I have heard of this but never seen it


Not good, may need more than some weld, gussets ect to stop it from happening again

I posted on the forest river site as well.

Holy smokes. Ya. It needs to be beefed up some , better take the inside apart so you know what's behind it , don't want a fire .

Imagine if it let go on the highway back from Outwest with all the unused fireworks in the back.....
i would get shop drawings on the chassis just to make sure everything goes back in the right place.
If this was a common problem with that particular chassis the mfgr may well have drawings of additional pieces to be fabricated for the fix. I have a friend with a shop that's all set up for fab/welding I'll call him tomorrow then call you...

Wow, that's insane

But where it's broke it's the trailer frame builder and not the hitch eh


Wonder how many more out there like that, that don't get seen ect
