Hi All,

This weekend the family and I went out camping / quad riding. When we got to our sight I was lowering the garage door and all the bolts popped out leaving the door on the ground. Anyone ever hear of such an event?

Tomorrow I'll take it in and have the holes retapped and bigger bolts put in.

Thanks,

Peter

Which bolts?

There was a post a few weeks ago where a WW had the entire frame come loose from the rear of the coach. Same thing?

Please try to use through bolts instead of drilling and tapping, if you can get to the back side with a nut and big washer. And use High Strength bolts, I seem to recall Home Depot sells A325 bolts. Harder to snap those off than pulling out of a tapped hole in the frame.
