My 37s gearbox has less than 1000 miles on it and the fiberglass by the bedroom slide is cracking about 8 inches long. It is off warranty. Has anyone else had this problem.

Welcome to irv2 rv parker
Sorry to hear of your problems but have heard about a Newmar 5th with the same problem back a while. They had to rebuild the frame to the pin and repair sides. I'll send this down to the 5th and tt forum to give you some more exposure for some answers.
Enjoy the forums and post often.

There seems to be a number of structural issues lately with Lippert frames and Fleetwood is not the Lone Ranger on this one....although Fleetwood has had some doozies; Check this one out; http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fu...d/18107981.cfm
