Weld on frame of 5th wheel attachment. Hitch I beam tore loose from cross member tubing, tearing the tubing completely apart. Crossmember broke at hitch attachment point. Had we not caught it when stopping to camp, the trailer could have broken loose from the truck injuring us or anyone behind us on the road.
