What was the thingy that went into the camper and grabbed then swelled and
held the ladder on? I read it here but can not fine it in my notes. Could
someone tell me again. I want to put my ladder back on.
Thanks Bryan from N.J
Just putting tages on it to start test driving.
 
The best device I have found to use for fastening items to the coach are
a item called a rivet nut. I went to my local bolt and screw supplier
and they are available in several sizes 6-32 to 5/16-18. They come in
steel and aluminum materials. Eastwood also sells a blind threaded
insert that I have use also. Their site is: www.eastwoodcompany.com. It
is on page 74 of there latest catalog.
