Re: anchors

Yeah, the Xi2 system looks like it, except the tray on the bottom is different. the picture on their site shows the corners are turned down to dig into the ground. the one I saw is built like a tray with a 1" lip (or so) turned up, and a flat bottom. in each corner there is a "V" shap...

I saw some new type anchors being put on a double wide down the road from me. My questions-where can I find them, and do they satisfy the requiarement for anchoring? These are heavy steel plates that go under the 16" base block. expandable arms attach to the base and go to the frame in all four...

Re: releveling double wide

Thank You Sir,

I didn't have any idea I would be able to do this myself. Aside from not have the knowledge, I don't have the tools. Based on your answer I will leave the height where it is.

thanks again,

Les

oops, I was wrong about ceiling. I pulled the garnish off and the ceiling is, I think, 3/8" sheetrock although it maybe ½", but not 5/8". It's stippled like you would get if you rolled a mud mix, but it's definitely a painted surface of sheetrock. The inserts between the panels are in...

Re: repair-how it's built

Hi David, Well, I'm sorta in shock (and thrilled) by getting a response so quickly with such through information and links. Based on your response I went ahead and ordered the book. I figure it's gotta have a lot of information I can use, and, I'm guessing, income from the sales dept. finances your ...
