A question for you guys: When I open my passenger door, the top of the door hits the sagging overhead bunk. It's been sagging worse & worse since the day I bought it (from a crack/seam separation). I posted a video of my fix for the seam/"wall-to-overhead bunk floor" separation, and the fix worked awesome, but now I've run into a much bigger problem. The plywood (1" thick) that supports the entire overhead bunk area is bowed down on the passenger side. This is why the door is hitting. I tried lifted the passenger side up w/ a jack and tried reconstructing everything to "pull" the sag up, but it didn't work. I then began to rip everything completely apart, and when I finally got to the part where the main 1" plywood sheet is ready to be pulled out... I found that the plywood sheet is actually GLUED to the external fiberglass shell of the motorhome. Yipe. I tried using a crow bar to separate the fiberglass shell from the plywood, but it's not working very well at all. How do I get that plywood out of there without damaging my fiberglass shell? Are there any other fixes for "lifting" a sagging overcab bunk area away from the doors (so the doors won't contact the roof?) that doesn't involve removing the bottom plywood support? Help! I was told the motorhome was completely restored, but this thing has had water damage throughout it's entirety for a very long time like you wouldn't believe (the passenger wall all the way back is bowing out really bad too, as in a 0.5 ft. bow out in middle of the wall where the fridge & oven are located) & drivers side is bowing bad too. I wish I would've known that I'd have to restore the entire frame of the motorhome before I bought it, but I have way too much $$$ invested & I have to fix it now before the Alaskan winter gets here (1 month). Help guys! Maybe someone knows something:^) Timmy www.timmystoyota.blogspot.com
