Crawling under to measure the length of this welded bar proved it to be an L angle steel not flat, but the length is 68" which is excellent because Lowes has such pieces in 6ft lengths. But latest thinking is to use a dremel with a cutting disc to grind away the welds and knock the full length steel member out and reuse it. This time though instead of welding I will try drilling and using more 3/8" self tapping screws to put it back. This will permit much easier servicing in the future.

Who wants to join me in starting an RV company that makes a quality trailer that is designed for servicing? Easy access to all serviceable items... Manuals that completely inform the owner.. Carefully routed wiring and water lines that do not resemble a bowl of spaghetti. Imagine the legends we'd become!!!

Well that dream is for tomorrow. Today is grinding day. Winter is coming.
