Our 2014 Heartland Bighorn Silverado 5th wheel has developed a crack by left bottom bedroom slide. It's most notable when hooked up to the truck.
Does anyone have a similar problem? Should I be worried about the trip we're planning to tour New England this summer?
We've driven less than 9000 miles (tops!) since new, and mostly highway!

I called Heartland last week, and they said it may have been caused by the screw (seen in pictures) and that the aluminum underneath may be cracked as well. I was also told that "some" flexing is normal. I get that. I emailed them photos and video, but haven't received any replies. Hopefully I'll hear something soon. I may just call again this week if I don't hear anything.
Our recently installed Reese Gooseneck hitch and MorRyde Independent Suspension has helped our ride tremendously. Hoping that these two "efforts" will keep the 5th Wheel from cracking any further.
