I have a 2009 2619 with a swing away tongue. I just discovered that the welds which fasten one of the A-frame bars to the crossbar of the swing away assembly are cracked. A local welding shop says that they've seen this before in TrailManors and that the swing away design is at fault -- it puts too much strain on those welds. They also said that using a weight distribution hitch can break the welds. Has anyone here ever had such a problem?
