[A/S] Re: 56 overlander with ass sagg

hi ken,

below is soem advise I've gotton so far,

There is a 1-2" inch sag in the rear of the coach. I relaminated the 
bath floor and have sealed the sag but the underbelly aluminum 
should be removed and the rear jacked up into place and a 10-15' of 
angle iron welded to the main members of the frame and the 
underbelly reinstalled. 

The sag is a result of waterdamage in the rear bath. There was
separation of the floor and body. The aluminum is bolted to the 
plywood floor. There is some frame sag. I am told by an airstream 
tech that you heat the frame at the bend and using jacks you jack 
the frame back into position. At that time you attach the extra 
angle iron for extra strength. Airstream furnished some of these 
peices of iron back in the "70s" I think to correct the problem 
before it happened. The sagging in my TT is the frame and not the 
body.
