Scary ! when things can happen so quickly.
I just spoke with couple from MI at teh camground since they had welder warking on their Newmar ( Mountain Aire ) they said that they about to loose their car when husband noticed at the rest stop ( thank God ) that hitch is cracked all over!
They also noticed that they had too, only 2 bolts holding the hitch's frame , he alos said thet another 2 Newmar owwners he met in Alaska had same problem! scary how those rigs go trough inspection!!!!
BTW, he checked some newer Newmars at teh factory and they all have standard 4 bolts on the frames.
I have to get under and see what we got going!
Thanks for heads up !!!
