If you want it fixed right, take it to Lance factory.
I’d be willing to bet that Lance won’t touch a structural rebuild on a camper that old. The last time I checked, they no longer had the jigs and templates to reproduce the rear skirts on my camper from 2001. Even if they would do it, they’d just rebuild it the way it was originally made. The 1161’s and 1121’s were built similarly around the slidouts, and they both were known to have these problems. It needs to be rebuilt better than Lance built it.
I moved the front tiedown points on my camper to the front jack mounts years ago because I didn’t like the deflection I was seeing of the area around the OEM tiedown points. I was able to reinforce the corners under the jack mounts much easier than I would have been able to reinforce the tiedown points.
