Yup. Between what I was told and what my sometimes faulty logic tells me I came to the same conclusion. It is not quite as "precision" as I feared. Right now the holes are filled with a piece of a plastic bag and covered with tape.

Oh, I want to repair it but wanting and getting are not the same thing. I was told I could move the bracket over a bit otherwise I would have to do an extraction and retap with bigger screws but they would have to still fit the holes on the bracket (I've learned A LOT of things the hard way)...

That is what I was told and what I intend to do.

I don't think I'll ever know for certain what happened - if the outer screw came loose before or after the inner one sheared off. I wonder if it could have been something as simple as a Jeffrey Pine cone. I jumped when I heard one hit my camper the last time I was out. Free-fall - there was no...

This is what the bracket looks like. I figure it took more than a little force to bend that thing.

Thanks for looking. I'm going to call Marty - I definitely need more information. And then I need to get a broken screw out. And a new bracket - I should get a photo and post it.

IGS part # ICU416885BB0134, 30 lb The strut still has gas (I have lived a large part of my life with non working struts on a camper shell) so I may be able to reuse it? I don't know - And thanks for the images - I did get the mangled bracket off thanks to Youtube and I can see how using that...

The lift was fine up until recently. I think it may be a chicken/egg kind of thing. And yes - I'll call Marty.

Yup - I figured that would be the next step.

Ok. Thanks to Dirt Farmer Jay on Youtube I was able to remover the bracket from the strut. edit to add: the strut I removed is longer than the other one - hmmmm -

The rear panel had become difficult to lift - like it was catching on something. I discovered that one of the struts was mangled - looks like one screw on the upper bracket was loose, the other one sheared off and the bracket is bent. There was nothing I could do but remove it - I can still lift...

For a month or so the store in Walker had a lower price than Topaz. Instead of raising the price just because they waited until a new delivery. I didn't know what the price was currently because I have not been to that end of town for a week or so - it is like, a mile or so away.

That's the thing - Bridgeport had gas over $5/gal more than ten years ago. If it followed the inflation rate what would we be paying now? But yeah - I get your point - and I also don't drive much - I don't have to. My camping trip last week was about 20 miles from home. I rarely leave my...

I haven't been in that area for almost 20 years so may memory may be (is likely) faulty. I did hear about the fire in Lucia. I read that gas in the community of Big Sur was over $7/gal.

Over $6/gal in Bridgeport too - no surprise. Last I saw it is still under $5 in Walker, not too far behind even at Topaz and points north into Nevada.

I believe that water source is courtesy of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Just don't even consider drinking it. I don't know how it tests out biologically but it tastes like chewing on a lead pipe. Also anything from a faucet in the town of Mammoth Lakes tastes like a public...

I have a friend who lived in the Yukon. She says a midnight walk to the outhouse was cold but stunning.

songs from the '80s? I must be a REAL old geezer - I walk around singing '60s R&B, just about any Beatles song and even some Cole Porter while I try to remember why I came into a room.

Is there a gas station in Lucia? I thought I remembered seeing the highest price gas ever there back in 2002.

If it is less than $5/gal it most certainly is not Bridgeport.

I was thinking about you when I heard about the road closure. After your cancellations this summer I am so glad you got this trip and I hope you get many more.

I have a "deck" right out the back door of my camper. It is also known as the ground.

Excellent!

The larch is such an unusual tree. And even though I lived in Idaho for only a short time I miss the huckleberries. Especially the milkshakes in Victor. I worked for the chiropractor across the street from the Victor Emporium. On random occasions someone would come across the highway and deposit...

Two inches and still falling. Three accidents currently working in the Walker Canyon. How soon people forget.
