hamkid Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 cab over is sagging on one side. WME made a suggestion on a different post about the fiber glass siding (see link below). Would the same technique work to hold the cab over sag? http://toyotamotorhome.org/forums/index.php?/topic/11397-siding-separation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I don't think so. The collapse on your overhead is caused by rotted wood. You would need to rebuild the structure to make it sound. I can see the boards that support the overhead drooping. Only rot can cause that Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamkid Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 It’s for sure rotted, I just don’t care to replace anything right now. I came across the other post with the strap and glue technique and thought maybe glue would hold it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 No glue is that strong. How about a plywood sandwich. Square of plywood on the inside and out and screw them together. seal around open edges. It will look like crap but it will hold it together for a while.

hamkid Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 With that technique would I just screw thru the existing screw holes? What do you think about trying to put bolts thru the existing screw holes at an angle and hoping they hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I meant plywood sandwich on top, bed area, and bottom and no existing holes won't work. Your just screwing plywood to plywood to bring up the bottom and hold it together. It's not a fix but stabilizing that mess will slow any further damage to the over head until your ready to really fix it. once you get it compressed that trim strip can be put back in place with construction glue, adhesive caulk, duck tape? This of course must be all just temporary. Any holes you make can be easily filled later when you remove it Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
