Re: Re-Open the Open Roads

So after the last summer and into fall with my truck setting in a bay with no work getting done I decided to close the work order. Glad I did. They built the walls and put no adhesive at all in it. All staples and they were already working themselves out and the walls were loose. The first wall pic you can see the joints they installed with the metal braces on the top. I added more 1X4's and put adhesive on the back and stapled them in. Yes staples, that is how it was built from the factory. Then I built my inner wall with 2x2's and used adhesive and screws to totally tighten up the second wall and straightened it out. There were several warps on the wall and now they are gone.

The RV center did build the rear wall with 2x2's and it is still solid.
