Does anyone know how to build a frame for lattice under a 5th wheel without drilling into the camper if anyone knows and if you have pictures that may help also, this is white plastic lattice.


Thank you, Ron

You could tie them with bailing wire in several places so they're not floppng about under the trailer. Bailing wire is re-usable and doesn't crack and break off like plastic zip ties.

Yeah, that did not make a whole lot of sense to me and I build stuff for a living :B.

By 'spacer' I think he means a vertical 2x4 that ties the panels together. Each panel lays against half the 2x4. You could screw the 2x4 to one of the panels permanently.

But what is this 'kicker'? Maybe he means a diagonal support perpendicular to the lattice' plane? When he says 'frame', does he mean the frame around the lattice or the frame of the RV? I suppose either one would work.

Sounds like a good sturdy design for long term. For short term, I would be inclined just to attach the panels to each other, and to the underside of the RV, with matching white zipties. Spiffy.
3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

What is the spacer and what is the kicker, just curious.

Thank you,

Build your frames that you need for the sides and ends, place them where needed next tie them together at the bottom with a 2X4X? spacer every 4 to 6 feet then from the top of the frame put a kicker from the top down to each spacer at about a 45 degree angle, the ends should have a kicker about middle way too.

Hope I made this clear to you.
