Fleetwood wanted to remove the front cap for access to the welds and estimated several thousand dollars cost. I made a bolt on repair but didn’t expect much from it and traded it in not long after. (The dealer was aware of the issue - but I’d bet my pension that they neither fixed it nor told the next buyer). It was a low point in our RVing journey and nearly made us quit the whole thing.

We had a Fleetwood Tioga class c and the coach had separated from the cab on the passenger side, the faster you drove or a strong headwind the bigger the gap got.
