Pigging backing on this post because it sounds like quite a few of you have dealt with a broken torsion bar.
My bar is still in tack and has been working since I did a complete rebuild last summer.
I'm about 240 and have slept in it about 10 times with my dog without issue. It opens easily and feels pretty firm.
I have a replacement torsion bar from Sway-A-Way that I have in the truck in case I need it.
The question is, should I just put the new torsion bar in to be safe?
Sounds like if it snaps, the aluminum protective bar gets trashed.
I read that a few of you had it snap while it was closed, but any of you have it snap while open? Or while you were sleeping? What kind of damage happened?
