**Broken Wheel Well**

I noticed this not long ago when looking under the cabinets for something. I don't know just how long it's been this way and I'm not sure what exactly caused it.

My first thought might be that heavy pots & pans may have bounced on the upper shelve and over time broke it; but then I remember another problem.

One of the wheels on the same side of the coach was so badly out of balance I was told they thought they might not be able to bring it into balance. After purchasing new tires I realized the balance problem. I took the wheel and tire to two other places to confirm that it was that far out of balance. I've never seen so many weights on one wheel; but if it brings it into balance would it not run smooth and not be a problem?

I don't think that a new tire is likely to be that bad. I didn't have the wheel tested by its self but I later thought that might have been a good thing to do.

I haven't noticed any vibration while pulling the trailer or anything that would lead me to suspect something was wrong in that area.

Would a person even be able to feel a problem like that while towing?

I can't say for sure just what caused this so I'm wondering what you might think! Do you have any thoughts or experience in this area?

P.S. I have aluminum wheels!
