Darn Tootin' it's a problem.  I bought a
73, 27 footer, drove it about 300 miles
up I-75 when the front bottom section
dropped off!  Rust and electrolysis had
eaten out the rivet holes in the belly. Then
when we got down to replacing the belly,
found we had to partially rebuild the frame
and were extremely fortunate in finding 
one of the steel step supports.  Spent 
well over a thousand bucks on it.
