Well, when the frame broke in Prudhoe Bay it ripped the bolts attaching the outside slide wall through the floor. Bob noticed the flexing in Fairbanks, but thought he could fix it, but didn't have the right tools and thought we could make it home before it became a big problem. The flex kept getting worse and the bolts looser and looser, so we sat in Whitehorse for six days over the labor day holiday waiting our turn. Fireweed RV Repair got in touch with Team Montana about the problem and got their recommendation for a fix, which was to remove the bolts, put a metal bar under the carpet, redrill the holes and replace the 5 bolts. Well, Fireweed went them one better and used an L shaped piece of aluminum and added 4 additional bolts. The slide works better than it ever has. If we keep this up we'll have rebuilt the rig before we're through!!
