@notsobigjoe, the two jacks on the left side are still installed, plus I have 6 stabilizers with 2x6's running the full length side to side. It's remarkably stable, but I'm still busting butt to get it done as fast as I can.

Spent an hour at Home Depot trying to devise what I need to fix er up. Only thing I could not find was 3/4 crown 1/2 staples like what it's originally put together with.

I take that back, ULINE sells them, but I can't justify an almost $500 tool for one project.

I did see here

Where someone was doing a very similar repair as to what I'm doing, minus the staples it looks well reinforced. So I am going to do something similar but utilize stamped braces and plenty of liquid nail.

Unless someone has a suggestion on where to get the proper joint staples :)

Good on the stabilizers. There's a ton of wooden rebuild info on this site as well as travel trailer site. When I was rebuilding my coachman I utilized this site as a guest, I wasn't a member until I got my Lance. Many years ago. Bedlam is correct, your going to have to put something beefy on those corners even if they originally didn't have it. Rebuilding is different than building but I'm sure you know that. As far as my rebuild, there were three tools I had to have. A chop saw, table saw and my very first screw gun/drill combo. All you post is sound thinking and you'll be great in the end. Try not to hurry even with winter right around the corner. Sorry I can't be of anymore help it was just to long ago. I'm surprised others are not adding some posts. Say that your putting it on a Toyota tundra, you'll get all the posts in the world... LOL
Good luck, Joe
