Leaf spring failure

I have a 2017 Pinnacle 5th wheel and have had 3 out 4 leaf springs fail in the past 3 months ( on the road). I am not overweight (12,800 lbs hooked up to truck), I am towing level by viewing pictures of truck hooked up to unit. Has anyone else had this issue or got any ideas on the cause? Lippert is sending me 4 new leaf springs but that is all.

Where did they fail, at the wet bolts?
