We enjoy your blog. Saw your repair of your back wall to deck joint. I found that excessive weight on the hitch can bend the I beam members. The box is suspended on outriggers to the frame and since the box is rigid, any deflection in the frame will drag the deck down. Taking that heavy spare off the back would be a good preventive measure. Pulling a string along the bottom of each I beam will disclose any frame deflection. If those members are bent, the recommended fix is to jack up the drooping members and box weld a steel plate on the inside of each I beam from ahead of the axles to the rear. Some have suggested welding heavy wall square tubing along the bottom. The axles act as a fulcrum. Hope that helps. There are some great welders in the larger towns in Mexico. Mike

I always try to know beforehand when bad weather is imminent. I watch the radar to anticipate where bad weather will be and when, listen to forecasts and we keep a weather alert radio with us. Then I plan an escape, should it become necessary. Yeah, it's a pain to move but whats worse, moving or losing your rig and maybe dying? I also try to avoid rain when possible. It's very worthwhile to me. I just watch the radar and compare that area to clear areas on a map and stop or drive out of it's path. Worst case is you drive a little out of the way. So what. I will also search out bridges or even gas station canopies to park under in heavy rain, hail or other damaging weather. Don't get trapped in low lying land that will flood or near creeks, streams or rivers. Whats pretty and scenic now can turn into a nightmare in 20 minutes. Less time than you can pack up in. Snow and/or ice, get to a truck stop or some safe place that will get plowed and stay put until the roads are clean and dry. If you are stuck where you are, do not park anywhere near trees, power lines or downwind of potential flying debris like other RVs, flimsy buildings and other such things. Keep in mind that many buildings have rocks covering their roofs that like to become airborne during tornadoes. Do you carry emergency tools like a snow shovel and a garage broom for the roof (it's important to remove all snow from the roof), a dirt shovel, traction mats, window scraper, windshield washer fluid, a tow strap with a means to connect it to the truck or trailer?

BTW, my brother has the same make of 5th wheel and his back wall bottom section became detached as well. He had to deal with temp repairs (similar to what you did) and had constant anxiety with it for over two years because he didn't want to make the back wall issue someone else's problem. He finally decided to have the whole back wall completely rebuilt before selling it at a big loss. It was obvious when they pulled the rear wall out, the root issue was poor design and workmanship.

I feel your pain, We have owned 3 rv tow along. First on- wate ruined the front 1/4 which I fixed. 2nd one had to take the back wall down to the studs and remove much rotted CHEAP wood and replaced with treated 2x2 studs and re install the bed, closets and cabinets. Also it developed a gas leak back at the water heater that we repaired. Third one, had to replace 1/2 of the floor due to hidden roof leak- Spent 3k $ getting the roof repaired and re coated . Bottom line RV's are made as cheap as possible, if you don't recaluk, around all windows and roof openings (at least check annualy) your rv will fall apart.

The best way to put that coroplast on is to use a 1x4 that is long enough to sit between the frame rails from one side to the other, then butt the coroplast together centered on the 1x4 and screw both sides to the 1x4 and it will hold them in place. You should also drill holes in the frame to screw the 1x4 to the frame rails.

More great Denali quality. Several years ago we were at a campground and dealer delivered a brand new Denali travel trailer to the site next to us. When they started to set it up they discovered that they had omitted the plumbing at the factory. Since it was going to be a seasonal the new owners agreed to let the dealer run new water lines under the trailer. Just couldn't believe that there wasn't a quality check at the Denali factory to catch that or that the dealer did not do a PDI before delivering.

You might need to remove the paneling on the back wall and inspect the insulation. I don't think drilling a few holes for wiring made the back wall fall off, more likely leaking and rot. You need to look at the roof. The caulking is probably breaking down and that is how it's leaking. Once you see a leak it's really bad by that point. I took my back wall apart from the outside and cut the 2x2's out and replaced them and all the insulation and the plywood then the inside. I also took all the caulk off the roof and fixed most of it with eternabond tape, expensive but much better. I don't care if these trailers are pre or post covid they're all junk. Crazy expensive and there are no slide but an Airstream is the trailer to buy.
@wildrvlife
Жыл бұрын
Fortunately our framing is aluminum with styrofoam insulation and so we don’t have any structural water damage. However, the issue with the holes for the wiring was that it caused the entire aluminum frame to break in half, so the last few feet of framing on each side of the back wasn’t really attached to anything. It was just a loose piece of metal in there 😅 so that’s why the bottom half of the back wall started to pull away. (We had a new roof put on last year)

Last year I spent 3+ hours underneath my trailer on the side of the road in a cold wind storm dealing with a belly cover that came off. Ended up having to remove it and use about 100 zip ties and duct tape to secure all the loose wires. After having the trailer for 15 years that was our last trip, sold it a month later. Good luck in Mexico, I would never go there as there's plenty of safe places to go in the US and Canada.

We pull a small 18' overland teardrop so while we may have issues, they are nothing as severe as a large rig like you guys have might experience. My only comment would be at the start of your video you had the hitch caddie installed and it appeared overloaded with the spare tire, storage boxes, etc. That bounce going down the road has got to put stress on the rear section of your trailer. I might not be the actual weight of the caddie but the size, meaning once the trailer starts bouncing this is going to be magnified by the caddie. I would suggestion is at least remove the spare tire.

Definitely something to think about if we can find somewhere to put the spare tire!

Anyone who has RV’d any length of time knows about roadside and emergency repairs. It’s stressful, but later you’ll laugh about it. Cute kids, hang in there!

With your rear hitch rack you may not have enough fifth wheel hitch weight find out from the manufacturer today you can probably find them on KZitem on a frame hitch the trailer will sway back and forth and wear out the tires when you travel empty black gray and freshwater tanks ride in your trailer down a normal rough road Liz amazing on KZitem and her engineer partner paid thousands for a better suspension when I pulled trailers I had to retighten screws and nuts put good silicon caulking on them and any leaks I have a 2 e-bike RAC in my 2in hitch there was up and down play so I bought a special clamp for the hitch
