I would not worry about it as his RV is very overloaded as mine is. My frame looks perfect but I have 1/2 or less miles. The reality is this is a VERY unusual failure in the DRV world. His pin box has no up and down cushioning and mine does, could be why I don't have the issue. This is the first failure I have seen like this on a DRV and I have been in the DRV world for 10 years now.
