Older Lance, anyone rebuild wing/tie down points?

My 89 Lnace 480 seems to be pulling out the right front tie down. Not just the tie down, but the edge of the whole floor. This is under both the propane compartment and the fridge compartment.

It looks like I may have to replace the whole wing floor. I've searched, but only found rebuilds for the rear skirts.

This camper may not be worth the trouble, but we like it and would like to use it for a few more years before upgrading.

Anyone have experience doing this, or can point me to a write up to what me be involved?

Thanks!

    I just Googled "lance TC wing repair" and got a lot of hits many of them right here on RV.net such as This

    You aren't alone. Good luck with your repairs.


    Those are actually called Skirts, the wings are the flooring on the sides.

    That's a great idea. Thanks!

    Like I said in my post, I've searched but didn;t find much, and no one that rebuilt the wing flooring.
