WAS UNDER MY UNIT DOING MY USUAL PERIODIC INSPECTION AND NOTICED THE FRAME @ THE L/R THAT HOLDS THE SLIDE OUT CYLINDER HAD BROKEN AWAY. BOUNCED OFF THE AC CONDENSER A FEW TIMES AND WAS JUST DANGLING THERE. VERY , VERY POOR DESIGN! NO SUPPORT WHAT SOEVER. SPOT WELDED IN TWO PLACES TO A PIECE OF TIN AND NO TRIANGULATION. FABRICATED A NEW BRACKET AND REINFORCED AS NEEDED. IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR UNIT JUST CRAWL UNDER AND GRAB HOLD OF THE SQUARE TUBING FRAME AND GIVE A LITTLE YANK TO MAKE SURE ITS STILL SECURE. IF IT IS LIKE MINE PREPARE TO CATCH IT.
