Any updates on this? Did you complete repair?
Hi,
Any updates, I have not found in an online search any other frame damages like I have. I'm sure there are some, just not posted about.
Yes, I did complete the repair. It came out well but was time consuming and a good learning situation. The slide side of the frame is repaired and I am now finishing up correcting the damage done to the slide from being out of square and painting the rest of the camper frame. (It's a long... camper when it comes to scraping rust and painting the frame.)
Once I get that done, I have to turn the camper around in my shop and add some more lower flange reinforcement to the door side so that side of the camper is closer in strength to the now reinforced slide side. I did not want to have one very strong side and one weaker side. May get some strange twisting in a future pot hole bump situation.
The thread was originally about if anyone has seen this issue to gain more info about how the issue came about. Which other then what Doug posted on new campers, seems to be not as pronounced as other frame issues (A frame issues, bent hangers, cracked web from hanger flex etc. there is a lot out there)
Did you have any specific questions on the repair?
Thanks
John
