2003 FLEETWOOD PROWLER LITE 25Y TRAVEL TRAILER. THE LEFT REAR SPRING BRACKET BROKE AWAY FROM FRAME. WHEN I DISCOVERED IT IT WAS STILL HOLDING AT ONE EDGE. IF I HAD NOT SPOTTED IT, IT CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF LEAVING THE REAR TRAILER AXLE LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED SEVERE CONTROL PROBLEMS AND PROBABLY A CRASH. THIS TRAILER IS LESS THAN 2 YRS. OLD BUT THE FRAME ALREADY SHOWS HEAVY RUST. THE BREAK OCCURED AT A WELD JOINT AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY WELDED. *AK
