Wow, what a read, read all 43 pages in one setting. Although I do not own a WW, I found this thread very enlightening. Kudos to the admin and moderators on this board for keeping such an important thread stickied.

I have an 06 FK2100 and the only problem I have had is that a pretty big chunk of floor rotted out. Mine rotted from the bottom up. Never seen the area get wet. The fender flair and inner fender was directing water right under the floor and got the insulation wet and rotted the floor.Its fixed and shouldnt happen again.
I have never had a problem with wheel bearings. I have only packed these once real good. Now I just give the easy lube's a couple of pumps at the beginning of each season. I tow heavy and probably way faster than I should sometimes. I dont have the center caps on my wheels and I can check how warm the hubs get when I stop. On a 95 day running 70 they will get a bit warm to the touch but they are all even and seems to be normal temp. Now if I ever feel one warmer than the others I know I am getting a problem. But I never have. In fact, I never have with any trailer I've had.

Yeah, I lead a really rich lifestyle. You know what they say, knowledge is power. Being the fact that their are only what 2 frame manufacturers LCI and the one WW used, stands to reason that the common problems on the WW are pretty easily fixed if you own a welder and know how to use it. This thread shows the telltale signs of how to "see" whats happening without crawling under the trailer with a tape measure. Weather you just load your TH heavy and need to strengthen it up or the fact that it was poorley engineered, this thread shows how to fix a sagging wall or axle/hanger breakage issues. I had an issue with my Thor Jazz frenzy TH, the walls had sagged, but never got any worse, if I had read this thread 2 years ago, I could have fixed it myself, for little to no money, other than time. I love tech threads with pics.

The front cargo compartment of my '06 FS2300 rotted completely out along with the bathroom floor too. I replaced everything that I could tear out with marine-grade 3/4" plywood (with 3 coats of Kilz). I completely re-did the bathroom.
My biggest problem is that I never did figure out where the water was coming from. It seems to stay dry now (I check after we have a big rain event and it has stayed dry). There are some soft spots in the kitchen area, but the floor seems to be holding up. I was just in there over the weekend checking things out (~20 degrees here in Kansas) and I could hear and fell ice crystals in the flooring. Weird.
Anyway, how does one figure out were the water is coming from??
Thanks.
Check the crimp clamps on the water lines around the water heater. Thats where i found my leak after several years and have found some soft spots in the floor. May just pyull up the kitchen floor and replace as other posters.

43 pages? You do know you can change how many topic per page are displayed? Go My Forums/My Preferences/Posts per page and change to 20. Sure makes it easier to see more.

I just bought a 2005 SL2300. I see that the photos of the repairs are no longer posted and would like to perform the fixes to update the trailer. The tongue repair is a no brainer and I got the the cross reinforcing and boxing the spring hangers. How are the additional outriggers attached and where? They're function? If someone has the photo's let me know and I'll contact you outside this forum. Paid $2500 for the trailer, everything works and it has a very soft roof and flooring in the front half needs to be replaced. I was checking the circuit on the courtesy lamps and popped a fuse. Where is the fuse panel for the 12 volt system...has anyone got an owners manual they could scan and send me? Thanx.

SL was the super-lite series, which was a bumper pull as well.
