2024 Paradigm 310RL Flex Frame And Rear Wall Issues

[UFF]

When was your 310 built?

August 2022.

 

[UFF]

when Alliance added wood inside the rear square tube

I will say the tube had wood in except the last foot or so. I stuck in a 6” to 8” piece in the end. Not sure how far wood goes through, will know when I do the other side.

Not sure expansion rivets will work right if there is wood most the way across. I will take a pic on the other side when I get to it. It is cold right now.

Funny, they can’t afford to fill the tube end to end but have money to waste on all the extra wire in the underbelly.

Wiring harnesses, done right, would be great.

2023 370FB here. I added these angles under mine, in addition to the recommended repair. They can be installed, even if you have already put the sheet metal wrap back on.

Mine had wood in the tubing, but they fell short of running it to the end...LOL.... I got some monster sized metal screws, put in a pre-drilled piece of wood, and screwed through both sides of the tubing.

My back wall was waving to people as they passed on the highway. There I was thinking they were waving to me and being friendly!!

Wood "packing" has been used as the industry's common practice, but the practice has shortcomings. Wood reacts to different climates and humidity factors; It shrinks, cracks, strips under threaded stress. At least one other manufacturer is using neoprene as a replacement to wood "packing" and I personally think it's a viable surrogate.
