Thanks for the advice. I am getting it welded on Monday, reinforced with some steel. No tow package, but the bumper is welded straight to the frame. It might have happened when I was driving in a campgroung. The campsite had a hill that was steep down to steep up,real tight at the bottom, when I started going up the bumper bottomed out(it sticks out !2 or 14 inches behind the camper. Anyway thanks , I wll let you know how it turns out. Andy

Hi everybody, I have a 18ft 87 sunraider. I noticed a crack in the frame about 18 inched behind the back wheels. The bumper is welded straight to the frame( I sat on the bumper and it went down a few inches, thats how I noticed).I am getting it welded but was wordering if anyone had any advice about extending the life of the frame. The frame looks pretty rusted and the original coating is almost nonexistent. Treatments? coatings? Also how much weight does the frame hold in the back? After the crack the frame dropped about 1 or 2 inches, but the floor did not move. Thanks Andy
