[VAC] Re: jalousie Windows and metal fatigue



Andy and whom ever else -
Holy guacomoli  , thats a lot of work for 2000 frogskins . Lets just hope that it
only happened to the trailers with the horizontal shocks and that had drums that
were really out of balance !
   Was it mostly on the 22` with the really wide jalousie window , or was it the
narrower ones too? Never having seen the bows on the wider window model (mine is
narrow ), did they cut into the bow to make the window fit , without providing a
header to transfer the stress laterally ?
