Default Frame

Also after further looking at the picture... I'm not sure the section that is broken is actually the FRAME. It looks more like some sort of axle support or swing arm... which could happen if wheel fell into some sort of hole?

Anyone, confirm that the broken part is the coach FRAME.
It was not the main frame that broke, the piece's that broke in half support the main drive axle. There is an air bag mounted on each end of the support. Both supports were cracked in the exact same way and place. For those with this vintage coach, the crack was hidden behind one of the large U-bolts that hold the frame piece to the rear end and would be difficult to detect. Newell now checks all coach's with this setup.
