Hi Alex,
Was there an origianl bracket that was removed. I have a 17'
Boler and there is alot of downward pressure on mu suppot bracket. The bathroom wall and
fridge cabnets on the other side provide support but on the door side there are just these brackets. I had one pop off out of place, not sure how it occured, whether the trailer flexed a certain way going over Railway tracks. But when I stopped the bracket was on the floor. I had to use a screw jack and a piece of 2x4 placed under the gally shelf unit to replace it. There was alot of downward force. A friend of mine restores these trailers and says that if not placed properly, the door is affected. So it is best if you knew exactly the proper location of the previous bracket and its length or if this the original bracket, the the proper location on the lower cabnet. There were several style of brackets used depending on where the trailer was made in Canada.
