Default 2017 Amerilite 268bh - Outriigger Bolt Missing-Confirmation Please

Hello,

I have confirmation from a GS Amerlite user on a 2016 (they have the bolt), but hoping for confirmation a 2017 model. I am going to have to get more persistent/vocal with the dealer about it, so I can get a response from them or Gulf Stream. Can you confirm if you are missing a bolt or not on the outrigger near the bathroom door? It concerns me as this is a long stretch without the wall/floor being bolted to the frame, but maybe it isn't required. Hopefully, the pictures explain it all.

Thanks,

Almost looks like its too inboard of the exterior wall to use a bolt there. If anything, they will likely just run a lag bolt at a slight angle to secure it unelss you want your interior/exterior walls removed to drill and through bolt it. Im gonna check my '16 248 for any missing bolts just as a peace of mind. Thanks.

Hmm never thought about that-I assumed it's bolted in the wall cavity, but then that wouldn't explain the slide out side.

Yes, lag bolt or access panel were a few simpler fixes I thought about-less obtrusive which may equal less future problems.

Thanks for the reply let's keep these forums active.
