Stuck in Indiana

Modern Amish house

Sometimes you live the dream; sometimes you live the nightmare.  My best guess is that we're currently in the best outcome of what could have been a real nightmare.   Since 2011 I have complained on various forums and to DRV directly that our trailer flexes much, much more than it should.  Some six years later we find out why. 

Original plans were to be in Virginia at this time with our trailer setting back in Bremen, IN being repainted.  Reality is that we're stuck in Indiana with a trailer that's unsafe to move due to two major cracks in the front frame cross member that holds the hitch pin in place.  An issue with the frame welds was found while the hydraulic leak was being repaired.  When people went in to fix the welds, they found the cracked frame.  (Hydraulic leak fixed, by-the-way.)  As of now there's no plan in place on when or where it will be repaired (temporary fixes would be made to make it somewhat safe for travel if it were decided to move it for repairs). 

So we're stuck until Lippert decides what's the best way to proceed.  The trailer could be repaired tomorrow (um...sure), or next week.  Your guess is probably as good as anyone else's.  In the meantime, we're traveling from hotel to hotel - as rooms become available - waiting to be told what will be done & when.  Otherwise, we're fine, and the trailer's in a safe spot at Cross RV in Lagrange, IN under a very watchful eye.

So that's our week.  How's yours?  David
