Maintenance & Restoration

After picking up this 75' perris last week. I started going thru it and found the body to frame bolts on front missing the nuts. They have pulled into the plywood at the top. After digging them out, i discover none of them had any type of washer on top. By the appearance of the rusted bolt. They have been this way a very long time. So i dug a little deeper and removed the under couch arpet someone had thrown in. And discovered the body must have bounced causing a 6" break above the front frame rail. Are we having fun now? Lol

Off to the bolt n washer store, and a little fiberglass, and i will be ready for the next mystery...lol

Thats a bummer. Breaking fiberglass is normally not an easy thing to do. You might want to investigate further to see what may have allowed the fiberglass get so stressed. Cause can be very far away from the actual break.

It appears the fiberglass under the front is a lowered box. Storage i assume. And at one point was repaired on that same side. Possible a curb hit or the likes. I found it odd how clean the break was. And i believe now. It is a perciouse repair that broke.
