Attention all Wolf Creek 850 Owners

WOW!! :E

Looking at the OP's pictures I don't know how any Wolf Creek owner could tell if theirs was or was not built to this same standard without removing the thin black sheet of wood covering the bottom of the overhang. Can you look down into this area from the inside? I also don't see any evidence of an aluminum frame here that the tie-down point is attached to. Aren't WC campers aluminum like the AF's?

The black piece of wood along the bottom is not structural, it is just a very thin piece of wood to keep the elements out. They use this same piece of wood in the bottom to hold in the basement insulation on Arctic Foxes.

The plywood doesn't look to be a splice in the OP's pics, it looks like the actual structural piece intended to take the load of the tie-down. The reason I say that is there doesn't appear to be another piece of plywood in the area behind it that it would have butted up to. This looks intentionally placed to me, not spliced. The only problem is that it doesn't appear to be attached very solidly to the rest of the camper's structure.

From what I can see in the picture the plywood seems to be attached along the front edge and outer wall with very inadequate looking screws. I see no evidence of it being attached at the rear and I can't see the inboard side well enough to tell how it attached there but hopefully it is at leased screwed across the top edge of the lower wall.

Very poor design from what I can see. You Wolf Creek owners really need to get a look at this with that black cover off so you can see the whole picture if you can't see it all from the inside. Arctic Foxes must be built differently than this or else I was quite lucky with mine and all the rough places I took it.
