Re: Bounder Construction
I understand anything that is laminated can delaminate. I grew up around boats and have had my share of fiberglass deamination and osmosis issues. What I wanted to know is if this construction held up better then the conventional wood on Filon laminated walls. Has anyone had to repair this type of wall and is there a visual difference then the conventional design. I would think that the non wood variants of laminated walls would hold up better to moisture though.739Views0likes0CommentsRe: Bounder Construction
Hello Dodge guy, I had a 2008 Georgetown 350TS. The roof was replaced by the factory in 2013 (stress cracks known issue), the side wall separated and had to be reattached (very common issue) while on the road in 2015. Brake lines ruptured and lost brakes while going down hill (thank God for the parking brake), 2019. Finally a tree limb hit the roof radius in 2021 and cracked the roof, I didn't see the crack and water made its way into the side wall (not Forest rivers fault). What I have found over the years that all RV's have their issues, just need to take care of the issues as they come and enjoy the ride.741Views0likes0CommentsBounder Construction
We are in the market to replace the Georgetown and have narrowed the search to the Bounder 35K. We lost the Georgetown to water damage, and the Bounder brochure says their walls have no wood backing the fiberglass, that they use a fiberglass panel in the lamination. Has anyone had any experience in this type of construction?5.3KViews0likes15CommentsRe: Brake Failure
roam1 wrote: 9 years old and rusted brake line? Do you live in a "harsh" environment or maybe previous flood? No, but the RV was used in the winter in the north east and mid Atlantic. We were caught in a couple of snow storms as well. So we had to rinse salt and brine from the undercarriage a couple of times.414Views0likes0CommentsBrake Failure
I had the fun experience of loosing my brakes on my 2009 Georgetown RV last weekend. The brake line ruptured about mid coach due to rust, and now I am in the process of trying to find a shop that can repair the line. Does anyone have a shop near Baltimore County (East side) that they can recommend. I called the local Ford dealer that worked on it last time and they are no longer working on RV's (Al Packer).1.9KViews0likes14Comments
