Quote from: Lon and Cheryl –
I have removed a 6"+ path along the inside of the box beam the full width of the coach. I have double nutted and removed most of the Rolox (broken) bolts, the rest that will not come out I will sister bolt along side them.

When you do get things reassembled please give us the details on how you reattached the fiberglass and how you finished the seam where you made the cut. Thanks in advance!

The pictures of the rust look WAY worse than it is. I think the harsh directional light from the camera emphasis the texture of the rust. The box beam is in pretty good shape just some surface rust. The rust between the angle iron and the box beam is much more pronounced.
If you enlarge the 4th picture of the Rolox bolt you will see that it is broken. Just like the others.
Front bulkhead looks good, but I don't believe what I see any more.
It will get the same repair as the rear.
The coach spent its life in Alabama before I bought it. It has never seen any salt since I bought it.
