Shock bracket on Basement door

[Jimmer]

Just curious if anybody has ran into this problem. I have a 2014 3582RL. The problem is that the bracket that the shock attaches to the inside of the basement door pulled off. I was told that Keystone makes a metal piece that can be attached to the basement door and then you can attach the bracket to the metal piece? I contacted my dealer and they said they did not know anything about it. Any information would be appreciated.

not uncommon. I pulled all mine off, and placed support brackets on the door and then reinstalled the arms. I used framing plates from Home Depot, the flat rectangular ones used with 2x4s and they worked great. no problem since. Others have simply used gorilla glue with toothpicks.

I used the gorilla glue and toothpicks method - holding fine.

Very poor design mine pulled out in less that 6 months they have been glued, screwed, etc over the last 10 years and they are pulling out again IMO the doors are ruined.We will se what Keystone will do about it at the fall rally.

Odd, but ours have seen 5 1/2 years of daily use as full timers and haven't failed yet. Haven't even had to retighten any of the screws.

I posted my repair on this post some time back. It has not failed for over four years. http://www.montanaowners.com/forums/...strut,brackets

I did the plate and then attached the bracket to the plate. Seems to work good.
Thanks for all of the replies.
