Assuming the rear part is bent up, the only way I can think of as to why the frame is bent upwards would be because the rear end was dragged so badly in bent the frame. If the side wall panels are not affected (not sure how they could not be) then I probably would try to fix it.  I would think you would do more damage or have to rebuild the whole rear of the trailer to even be able to try to straighten it out. If it is bad enough, then really it is just cheaper to buy a new trailer. If it bent once, what would prevent it from bending in another spot if the frame is that weak?

You could try a place that works on semi trailers to see if they have any equipment to to it. 

Is it a Lippert Frame?

Sir sorry for the delay.

The frame is a LCI and there is a 3/4"+ (I have done the string test) going up into the the coach at the front axle instead of a frame camber going towards the road it is in the kitchen at the fridge.

I have a company in AZ that will pull the frame back down and reinforce it for me.

I also had the wall at the rear end of the slide come down past the floor line by 1.00 inch and LCI came down and added new gussets to lift the wall up to what should be the right place.

I think this long overhang from rear axle is a problem bad design .

We now own a 2017 per owned LM 365 Arlington after a Everest for years, but I just found out a few months ago that the frame is bent going upwards into the coach.

I have been looking for a frame shop to pull it back down to spec then I would think to sister weld plate to hold it in place.  but with no luck. 

It was suggested to me about adding a third axle, I still want pulled down ..one company said about the overhang of these coaches causing the back end bouncing. Also told they can not get the equipment over the top of I beam for a pull down as the floor is screwed down to I beam. 

What do you reckon?
