Now I am on crack!

Usually a crack that has been welded up will recrack some where.

Not at my shop!

LOL, Scott, I actually thought of you, when I read that. Most welders I know take those kind of comment very personally

Simple make repair best you can: stop by Chopper Scott let him ck it out and improve if neccessary.  On your way North.

My comment was referring to if the crack was just welded together and the cause was not fixed. Wether it be rotten material, over stressed, or what ever the cause.   It needs the tube replaced IMO.

It is common in Mexico to over load everything past their capacity.  A bus full of passangers plus freight stuffed in every possible vacant inch. I would doubt it will ever see that abuse again.  It was common practice in the Us until the DOT caught on..Maybe still goes on??100,000lb  gross buses.Add that to less than even our worse roads = real stress. Point being Restore to original state and it will in all likely hood never see that kind of load applied to it again in it's new RV use. Just  a observation.   Bob

My 2 cents, plate and weld it.  Also do the  other side as this looks a little under  built, so the other side will go soon.  I know in Mexico if you go to a truck garage specializing in frame/structure work this will get done right.
