What did the basement crushing look like? any photos?
anyone have photos of this side bulging?
The pictures where removed from my post on the other forum long before photobucket cancelled their free service.
The first clue to having the basement problem is while the camper is resting on the truck, you will see the camper lower in the rear indicated by a smaller distance above the truck bed rails.
I did the studs on the outside of the basement side in front of the gen box. Then laminated using structural glue and structural plywood to the all basement sides. Work needs to be done when the camper is resting on the jacks not the truck bed.
It is a great life enjoying a good truck camper, doing the travel camping, visitations, but you have to really be willing to do whatever it takes.
Gen box was not connected in anyway to the basement sides so adding that last stud against the gen box is important. Attached not only to the box but the basement side as well.
