So far so good on my FS2600 frame. My brother has a 2005 FS3000, his is ok to.
We have the smooth sides and mine has a small slide out. Maybe they're not effected, I don't know. My frame is like 6" C channel though.

The FS26 and FS 30 have solid frame sides correct. The SuperLites have the punched frames and are the ones that have most of the problems with the tongue and frames. Probably because of that also maybe.

The NORCO Frames on the superlights are Junk. I welded 1/8 wall 1"x1" square tubing inside along the frame on both sides with 1"x1" square tube uprights over the shackles supporting the frame. I then welded 2"x2" square tube connecting the shakle bracket on the rear tire and middle shackle bracket. I then replaced grease bolts and sway shakles all around. they were worn bad after about 2000 miles on the trailer. That stopped the sway. I just drove from Buffalo to Memphis and back. I drove at 70-75 the whole time. The new 10ply tires have no unusual wear and the trailer is very stable and tracks great. FYI I pulled it with a F150 Ecoboost and ran between 1800rpm and 3000rpm. Pulling at 70mph up that long grade in Cincinnatee was awesome.
The only incident was I took out my waste dump backing up on blocks. But that is kind of a blessing because they hung too low anyway and was always a pain to dump into stations that were high . with a couple of Fernco no hub fittings I now have a much cleaner looking and higher dump

I purchased my graphics from Empire RV parts and I received them in a couple of days. Weekend Warrior Gear would also have them but they tend to be a bit pricier on their parts.

I have an '07 full throttle 5er. I have been busy with repairs on this rig. I was sitting here browsing and came upon this thread. Am I to assume that since this is a sticky, that WW's have an unusually high amount of problems. I don't doubt it. This thing has more problems than I care to remember. I am in the middle of repairing the garage wall from water intrusion from the wheel well. The entire lower wall was rotten. I cut a piece of treated 2x12 to fit in the space, coated it with flexseal and wrapped it in Tyvex. Once that was bolted in, I resealed the side to the board. Used expanding foam where needed and under-coated the whole thing with flexseal. Pain in the ass for something that should have been sealed at the factory.

My 06 fs2300 is going under my surgical skills soon. The floor is soft from the front cargo compartments to almost the seam where the linoleum stops at the wheel wells. Roof and internal walls look ok. I'm thinking of doing 2 staggered layers of 1/2" ply and replacing either the entire floor or at least from the linoleum trim strip forward. As I understand it, their claim to fame was to use a single plank of 1" OSB from tip to tail. Any links/pics/firsthand knowledge or advice is appreciated. I have an indoor barn to do the repair so time isn't a major factor. I'm hoping ill find the leak source upon tearing everything down. Nothing obvious on the roof or sides at this point. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get all of the internal walls (bathroom, vanity, queen bed area etc) handled and manipulated with no floor yet. I'm considering dropping all of my tanks too to make an unbostructed workspace but I think I'll just have to see how things come apart and go from there. I see staples through the siding into the underside of the floor plank every nch or so. That should be fun. Any info appreciated!

Dkipz, here is what the osb floor is It is not continus but stapled together. Which is actually very strong considering the twist and spring the trailer goes through in transit![[image]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-urgkFtWwzzc/T8Y1u8HfAxI/AAAAAAAAG5I/M_JPZc_Fads/w626-h834-no/IMAGE_55F9BCC1-B12B-432A-BF51-0868D66018BD.JPG)

Let me guess,,, the wheel well separated from the wall and floor. Textbook WW(and many other TH) wall sag symptom.
Just fixing the symptom will not fix your problem.
It will only get much worse, more costly to fix.
Do a search for WW wall sag. Its a frame problem.
If one wheel well was already leaking enough to cause water damage, you've probably got it bad.
