2019 Jayco Eagle TT stabilizer incident
Driving down interstate highway I heard something dragging under vehicle. I pulled over, got out and noticed the trailer front passenger side stabilizer had dropped and was dragging on highway. The two bolts holding the stabilizer to the frame had broken. I tied up stabilizer and continued to my destination.
Attached are pictures of the broken bolts. It looks like the holes drilled in frame by manufacturer for this side were to close to the I beam. When bolt was put in hole it tilted and broke when nut tightened. Besides bolt being rusted, the nut/washer was bent where it made contact with i beam. I replaced failed bolts. The other stabilizers seemed ok. FYI check your stabilizers.
