Sorry... attached the wrong picture. That was a random stock photo from internet. NOT my trailer.

Lets try this again.  Here's the crack in the tongue weld of my 21bhs

I've got a similar issue w a crack in the weld of my 2018 21BHS. It's on the inner portion of the tongue closest to the trailer.  Apparently, CL has many out there w this issue as I called other dealers who said they had this situation.

I was about to take delivery of my trailer, but now i am hesitant.  I've attached a picture.  The crack is at a very important area on the trailer that is critical for everything the trailer does. If it was in the rear, I wouldn't be as concerned.

Apparently the repair will involve removing the gusset plates and weld from the trailer and fabricating a new gusset plate that spans the length of the trailer and reweld it back on the trailer. They say it's an 18hr job.

I have a welder in the family who say it's too risky and not to take this trailer. He says working with KDFPARaluminum is very tricky and the repair could actually cause more damage.  He isn't comfortable doing the repair in spite of having 20yrs welding experience.  Hes also suspicious of "what else did LL do improperly".

Anyone have insight?  Really wanted this trailer. Has the sweet all aluminum cabinets inside.  Feeling bummed at the moment. I've got very little towing experience, so the LAST thing I need is structural issue that could potentially be disastrous going down the road

Thanks for any advice.
