Re: Roof latch fasteners

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Gang:

Yes, we have an older Aliner, 2000, with the 3" frame. But the roof came loose in Lexington, South Carolina on a US highway.

I can see how the stock toggle clamps are OK on fabric pop ups where there are 4 and the roof is held down by the lifting mechanism.

If I still had the stock clamps, I would add a safety latch or a chain. I've never had my trailer come off the hitch, but I still use the safety chains.

Carl.

I've been towing for 5 + years in southwest Utah, Nevada etcc.. even some terrible roads in Arizona (most are even their freeways) high speed - lol speed - never had an issue with the factory installed tied clamps using clips.

Happy camping?

Have logged many hours on dirt roads, some with severe washboard and never have had this problem.?
