Wood framing? September 14, 2020, 05:27:50 pm Besides the steel roll bars, is there any other steel framing in the LD or is it all with wood?
Re: Wood framing? Reply #1 – September 14, 2020, 05:45:56 pm Hi Tracy. Those steel 'roll' bars are more strengtheners, I'd call them stiffeners. Not like roll bars in race cars or my dune buggy. I think mostly to prevent the 'flapping' of the sides and roof in high winds. (A booming sound I have heard in other brands) 70 mph as you are moving is a high wind. The construction with wood, steel, aluminum skin, with glued and screwed structure ends up being a very good unitized body. Interior components, partitions, even the window frames make it even stronger. I'm not 'light weight' and I've never been concerned about walking on the roof. I have walked on friends motorhome roofs where the roof would flex a lot where I stepped. RonB
