Checked the fresh water tank last evening and one side of the beam has at least a 1/2" gap between the plate and frame. And all three screws inserted at an angle. Freak show! StarMy hair stood on end!  Will check them all out today and fill with washers if just those few.  If they are all like this, I think I will seek more professional help. Who would have guessed?  Thanks so much for all of your posts!

CasaJack  I was wondering how you would rate the response and service you got from Coach net?

I am glad my unfortunate situation brought this to light and that some of you have done some preventative maintenance.

How does one determine where their R-pod was made? My data tag on the side makes no claims.
