Title: Generator compartment.
Post by: Adrian on March 30, 2003, 07:47:00 AM
Generator compartment.
I was under the clipper last weekend and noticed that the generator compartment seemed to be sagging. I guess I never really looked at the construction but it looks like the whole compartment is just ¾ inch plywood that is butt jointed. To take the sag out I jacked up the compartment and from the inside use some pipe strapping to hold the bottom of the compartment in place.
How is the compartment attached to the rest of the coach? I would think that there should be some structural steel that is bolted to the frame. Adding to my concern is the spare tire is also attached to the bottom of the compartment.

Thanks
