    Having our camper looked at to see if the front tongue should be strengthened because it bows some when fully loaded. We have the heaviest Vista model for the their 23 foot models and have noticed the 2020 models the front tongues are built with a stronger frame. We are taking it to Tropic Trailer in Fort Myers Florida while there they will repack bearings and inspect frame and make their recommendation if it should be strengthened or not. I just feel unsafe the tongue may break while being towed I never had a camper where the tongue would bow like the Vista does. Has anyone else had a camper or trailer that the front tongue would bend without it being a problem? I am trusting the engineers at Gulf Stream know what they are doing but wandering why the 2020 models now are built with a stronger frame for the tongue.
