Attention all Wolf Creek 850 Owners

Just found this while browsing and I double checked my 2013 WolfCreek 850, its the longbed version and I have the same "splice" short section of plywood in the same place as OP. Sure wish they had designed this area better and put some sort of bracing to reinforce the tiedowns into the frame of the camper. They did such a nice looking job of reinforcing the camper jacks into the frame its a shame they didn't incorporate some of that into the tiedowns. This post has me rethinking my purchase a little, as I really do love my WolfCreek. I sure hope I don't have any problems like this as we like to venture off road to some remote mountainous areas. However, I do use the torklift frame tiedowns but still has me wondering if I may need to come up with some sort of reinforcement for these front tiedowns.

here is another angle of the splice. Upon further inspection of my photos I found this one. I am also concerned with the very thin piece of "true grit" for insulation purposes. seems like this would be very easy for the cold to get in when winter camping. Northwood claims to have 1 1/2" thick base of the camper, but the underside is only 1/4" thick? I guess I will have to add a layer of insulation somehow when I get my new one. I will also find out how they are going to reinforce the tie downs.



Also, Doug Karr claims the tie downs on the Wolf Creek are
"four bolts, through the frame, plated top and bottom"
