Having had a problem with the quality of welds done by Lippert on my own rig, I'm not surprised. That's a high stress area and something all of us should be checking for problems, particularly with some of the rough highways we may encounter. The box frame is a rather thin wall item and it wouldn't take that much to punch through it while welding. That would give access to water and excaserbate the rust problem.

Even though I have had them rewelded, I still check the shock mounts on my rig before we head out while I am checking tire pressure. That's how I found the broken one the first time.
