    Sagging Under Apron

    The plastic apron under the front half of my Reflection 303RLS is sagging. Can somone give insights into what may be going on please? Clearly no water in it. Not exposed to extreme heat.

    Sometimes the fasteners pull loose or are improperly installed. If it is still under warranty I would take it to a dealer. If you decide to tack it up yourself be careful the holding tanks may be near.

    A couple of beam clamps on the frame with clothesline wire and a turnbuckle between them is a fast way to hold it up.

    Hi larryl,

    That sag is pretty normal. This entire area is tanks and plumbing, so the coroplast is secured only around its perimeter. A common fix is to run lengths of light weight angle iron below the coroplast from frame rail to frame rail. As mentioned earlier, if you drive any fasteners into the center of this area . . . you are likely to hit a holding tank.

    Hi larryl
    Attached is a couple of pictures of my coroplast support. I placed foam sheets above the coroplast and the sagging increased. I used 1 1/2” aluminum channel and longer screws, 1 1/2”. The screws on each side are not parallel so you have to drill one side. Click image for larger version.

    My rig is currently at the dealer getting some warranty work done. I did complain about the saggy underbelly. GD agreed to replace under warranty so it being done this week. Will let you know how it looks as I pick it up Saturday.

    Oh - the "old sagging belly" story makes a cameo appearance once again. Jim @JCR JD first reported this convex condition coming up on 4 years ago July, 2015. Then as now, the legitimate RV question morphed into some feedback on bodily challenges. I, of course, did not participate in that taking the thread of course !

    Here is that thread for some reading enjoyment. I trust Jim's belly is doing just fine. https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...=belly+sagging

    @larryl - w/o seeing any pictures of your RV, it cannot be determined if there is an issue but I suspect not as Rob explained. if you look at other GDRVs you will see similar sagging. Be careful looking at bellies, however.

    Looks good chillybob. FYI. I see the lpg hose appears to be against the aluminum angle. Watch so it does not rub a hole in the hose.
