floor parallel to frame?

[jy]

I inheritaded an older Dutchman TT.When the floor is level the frame is not.Is this the way they could have built it or does it have structural issues?

Not really causing problems,I was just trying to set up the hitch to help eliminate sway.The first step is to level the trailer.Tahts when I found out that leveling the floor doesn.t level the frame.

Is it causing problems ?

Bottom flange I assume? Is the top flange running with the floor? Almost has to be.

Frame camber. 1999 was before the frame market was cornered by a certain company (If their name is mentioned the post seems to magically disappear on these boards) so your 1999 probably has camber, unlike the certain company whose frames are probably designed with camber, but then they screw up the fabrication and say oh well, good enough.

Its a 1999 Dutchman lite.Not sure of the model # right now.

Some of the older lightweights had tapered frames. Can you post a pic? Or maybe some model and year info?
