That looks like a solid spring hanger to me. Mine didn't look anything like that. I wonder when they changed to that style? There is even decent looking welds on it. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Mike: I ordered the Magnum with Trailair C/P. No gussets at all. Lippert just hires a guy from day to day maybe and gives him 5 min's training and when he quits thay hire another one etc., etc.. Gotta tell ya, with all of the problems Lippert owners are reporting with frame failures on RV.Net etc., I have no faith in their quality at all. Just one more example of low bidder producing crap to still enable a profit.

Do any of you fellows with 05 models have the warranty paper work showing the frame warranty? Kent told me 3 years Lippert said nope only 2 years. I can's find my warranty papers so I can't prove anything. I did get a copy for the 08 model and that said 3 years on the frame. It could have been different in 05, just trying to double check.
If you don't want to post in public then please PM me if you can.
Thanks

Lipperts warranty's usually start at the build date, not the purchase date. And, to make things even more fun, call Lippert and see what they say vs. what Double Tree says. With all their problems, I certainly hope they either get their act together or lose their hold on the market. Its bad enough dealing with them on the service side, I could only imagine what it would be like to actually own something of theirs...

If Kent said it was 3yrs then I would take the bill to DT as that is whom you bought it from and let them deal with Lippert.

Huck, after looking at one of your photos it appears to be a small crack in your frame, take a look at it. I'm not very good with the photo shop stuff but I tried to put a arrow pointing it out. I looks like there is even a rust stain where water might be coming from the inside of the frame. I hope I'm wrong but you might want to check it closer.

Me thinks maybe what you are seeing is the end of the angle which is welded to the frame to which the little piece of snap on molding is attached.

I hope that's all it is but my angle runs horizontally, what I'm seeing is going vertical up the side of the frame. Maybe I'm not looking at it right.

I enlarged the picture and after looking at my frame would agree it is the angle to hold the edging for the under belly.

I am glad someone said something.. I saw it also.. after the explanation I see what you are talking about... looks like the end of the angle accentuated by the shadow of the flash.
