Lance right rear wing has gone soft
My 2002 Lance Lite 915 has a right rear wing that has gone soft due to a water leak. I have removed the skin and am wondering what quality and thickness the plywood under the skin is. I had to prop ...

Lance is pretty famous for the wing failure. I've repaired mine twice ... this time (I'm right in the middle of it) I switched to solid marine plywood and edged it with one inch of maple hardwood for a good grip on the screws, instead of screwing into edge of plywood.. Then glued and screwed it together so no water can get in. It's now a solid piece with no hollow core to hold water.
I'm reinstalling the metal edges so it protects the wood from road stones and debris from kicking up. But the metal edge is now only a protector for the edge of the wood.
Gotta tell ya', this was truly a hassle getting all the pieces off. Seems like Lance glues it where it don't need it, and leaves off the caulking where it does. I found several areas that should have been caulked, and you guessed it - NO caulking ... should be good to go when this is finish. Will supply pics for anyone interested.
