We had exactly this problem, the trailing arm breaking, on April 26 of this year on our 2008 Cayman XL. Thank God we were off the 65 mph highway, or the consequences could have been severe. We purchased the RV used from LazyDays in Florida. They never notified us that we might have this issue. After $3700 bill, we are still trying to get some of the money from our insurance company. Probably not happening. Is there anything we can do, or must we swallow the bill? If anyone has any ideas on how we should approach this, would you let us know. We are thoroughly disgusted. Thanks, Marja Stauffer, Conifer, CO

Wolfe10, We never had this problem with our Fleetwood product(95 Pace Arrow). Up graded to our Cayman in 2010 and have been happy(except for this control arm issue) so far. I guess the old adage "buyer beware" is still something to consider when purchasing anything. You think Lazy Days would have atleast checked and notified us. Thanks for your input and assistance.

Have an 08 Cayman XL with 29000 mi. On April 26th the control arms failed after a swerve to avoid an on coming car and hitting a pot hole or hard bump in the road. After a tow and repair (bill was $3500), I have been attempting to get GMAC to cover the cost less the deductable. Should this not be an insurable loss? I was not notified by the selling dealer(Lazy Days - Fla. ), Monaco, or Roadmaster of any concerns of this problem. What else should I be aware of??? We are truly frustrated!!!
