We knew it would happen eventually, but yesterday discovered our first MAJOR problem. We noticed a short while ago, the bolts holding the lift rails (wrong term? the 4 extending towers on the 4 corners that raise the roof) to the roof, were pulling in from the side panel of the roof. Yesterday, we raised the roof in preparation for camping this weekend, and spent some time investigating. It appears that the wood pieces on the sides of the roof are rotting. Passenger side, much worse than driver side, though drivers side was more obvious from the outside. We will still camp this weekend and baby it along. The passenger side is actually still wet. No rain for at least a week, so hopefully we can get it dried out. Fortunately very handy, camping, sister and BIL are arriving in 2 weeks and say they can fix it. They'll replace the wood, and then where the bolts go, they'll 'sandwich' the wood with aluminum inside and out, to prevent this from happening again.
Our daughter's wedding is in less than 4 weeks and the intent is to camp for about 10 days surrounding the big event (hotel for the 2 nights of the actual event - I think I have to draw the line of primping for my mother of the bride appearance in a camper! LOL). So, timing is everything. Of course.
