Since we had to go all the way down to the frame, we might as well fix it right. My husband and father-in-law cut a piece of metal and welded it to the frame for added support. It didn't have much right where the doorway was, where the most traffic would be.
We also replaced the 2x4s inbetween the frame and added lots of extra support.
After repacking the bearings, we pounded out the dents in the wheel wells and added lots of rubberized undercoating. Can I add LOTS! We probably have gone through at least 8 cans and we're not done yet.
Had to rivet some extra metal to the outside of the wells since they had rusted pieces on them. Went ahead and attached them to the frame, so now it's flooring time!
It seems we have spent a lot of time on this step, but it's so important to have a good base to start. We have the plywood cut for the flooring, but that's for another post.
