Interesting Issues
We just returned last night from 3600 Miles, Phoenix to Clinton, MS, To Mobile, AL, to home with lots of stops in our 2004 Endura. The Truck ran like a champ, but I had a couple of VERY interesting issues in the Coach. On the way to Clinton one of the drawers below the closet in the bedroom slide fell out. When we tried to put it back we realized that the Framework holding the drawers has fallen down and could no long hold the drawers. Upon investigation, I found that the whole back framework for the drawers was being held up by about 10 staples driven though the closet floor. I quickly put about a dozen 1" screws and it held up coming home. Once at home I built spacers to hold up the framework from the floor below too. I don't believe it will fall down again. Shortly after that we noticed that the Pocket door between the living area and the bath was sagging badly. I determined that the track had been attached to the ceiling using 6 1/2" screws - 3 of which had fallen out. I put it back up this morning using 5 1/4 by 1 1/2" lag bolts (I couldn't reach the one furthest back). I seriously doubt it will fall down again. I am somewhat dismayed that the building wouldn't even work in a house let alone in a house driving on the rough interstates of the USA!!!
