has anyone had this happen. We have a Heartland Big Horn fifth Wheel. We have a small 1/8" seperation of the molding at the back of the cap at the bedroom slide when we load the fifth wheel onto the truck. We have had the flex of the frame supposedly fixed with the lippert frame welded at the bedroom slide and reinforcement in the cap of the fifth. in addition we had the left lift leg replaced and a larger motor put on.
We had hoped this was fixing the problem but a week and half after we picked up the fifth wheel after 6 1/2 weeks of repair, it did the same thing (seperate at the cap/bedroom slide when loaded)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you want photos, I can e mail them to anyone.

thank you.
