Re: What do you think about these bulkheads?

If you own it, drive to NAC and have Extreme fix it, they are the least invasive and very knowledgeable. it probably wont break in route, but if it does, search the posts, there was a member that had a temp. repair done on the road and then drove the rest of the way home and repaired there.
If you don't own it, don't buy it without someone in NAC looking at it and giving you a firm estimate to repair.
Don's repair is amazing, and probably overkill. But was all that necessary to have a roadworthy coach for the next 20 years? Maybe, maybe not.
Good , better, best. Better is fine, Xtreme can tell you how much for "better".
This bulkhead thing is SOOOOOO overblown. Yes a few are seriously compromised. Yes, if really bad it can be a somewhat expensive repair. For most, it is fine, or a repair less than $1,000.
I forget the post, but a member drove a long way with a failed bulkhead. If a coach had ten year old michelins, I would drive it 2000 miles to get new ones. If a coach had a comprised bulkhead like in these pictures, I would drive it to NAC. If it had 10 year old tires and this bulkhead, I would still drive it to NAC just like it is.
Yes, bad things can happen, but the not very likely.
Just do it.
