RV Repair: camper jacks, camper jacks, lag bolts
QuestionI recently bought a larger camper and when off loading it I had trouble and pulled the front two jacks sideways. I pushed them back into place 3/8 to 1/2 an inch and they look ok. But clearly they are not. What can I do to fix this. I've pulled the worst looking one off and looked behind the fiberglass , it looks as if just the small 3/16" x 1 1/2" lag screws just pulled out! Could I just drill the jack bracket out and put larger lag bolts in?
AnswerMark, I would recommend to you that you use something like a dowel to shove into the holes and glue the new wood where the old came out. This should make the mounts solid again and end your trouble. If this is not what you want to do you can always do what you described but that will be much more work than what I am telling you.
