Home Again

Picked up MoMance yesterday and are homeless no more. Here are a few pictures of the work that was done.

The crack was at the corner of this slide. There was water damaged wood framework under the slide. To get to it the front caps had to be revoved and fiberglass and plywood exterior wall taken off.



Here is the new wood and a steel plate that was added to reinforce the corner. This should prevent the crack from reoccuring.


The new fiberglass skin is installed and getting prepared for paint.


We are pleased with the with the job Northwest Collision and RV repair did. It is a small shop that apparently does quite a bit of this type of work. I don't think they had worked on any Travel Supremes though because the owner, Filipe, was amazed at the size and quality of the wood used in the framework. He is used to seeing 1 and 2 inch frames and partical board floors. Even with that we apparently had a weakness in construction that caused the crack in the first place. That problem should be solved for good and we on our way to the next 8 years.
