Here is something that I didn't notice before. In that first picture showing the break, it appears that when they attached the strap to the frame, it was attached in the reverse direction of what the other end of the strap has been attached.

I may need to look things over again under there. Does anyone know why DRV would attach the support strap so that it formed an "S" instead of bowing in the form of a "C"? With the "S" configuration, it is easy to see why the strap broke at the frame. It was being forced into an unnatural shape.

On my other straps, they are all attached in a way that the strap forms a "C". But with this one, it appears that the frame connection was configured with the end facing the rear of the coach, while the other end at the exterior of the slide would be facing forward.

Or, am I seeing things wrong?
