Well,
Without any other information, I'm not sure I see the problem. FIX IT. In that, unless it's more complicated of a problem, the way I see it, you have two options. One, call in a mobile welder and have them repair the failed weld on site or two, cruise your coach on over to a welding shop and have them fix it. Ours aren't welded to the frame, they're bolted but I guess not all manufacturers work the same in a situation like this.

Good day
Thanks for your reply.
I was actually trying to find out if this had happened to any one else.
I did get the bracket off and it rewelded.

Roger that Sir,
As for who might have had this happen on their similar equipped coach, well, that remains to be seen or reported on here. And, the jacks or "levelers" take a pretty fair amount of stress and strain as they begin to lift a coach, ANY coach above the suspension supported weight. Not only are they lifting but, quite often, one or more of those jacks is being subjected to LATERAL stress too. That is, some folks can be off level in TWO directions which means you're trying to level not only front to back but also side to side. And that means those jack mounts are taking stress from multiple directions.

I do have a question for you though. I'm slightly confused here. In your original post, you state:
"...... bracket welded to frame failed." Then, in your answer to my post, you state:
" I did get the bracket off and it rewelded." Sooooo, was the bracket NOT welded to the frame and was/is removable?

Good day
The bracket was welded. I believe you were correct re the lateral stress could have caused it. But after inspecting the bracket the weld was a thin bead. That would have helped it fail.
Thanks sgain

"The bracket was welded"
Sooo, this means the bracket was BOLTED to the frame and not welded to the frame as stated earlier.
