Why cant you just cut giant holes in the side and have regular slide outs?
Quote from: Mr X on June 25, 2006, 12:06:34 PMWhy cant you just cut giant holes in the side and have regular slide outs?Simple reason is because a GMC is built like an airplane - the exterior skin is the chassis, with the bulkheads adding torsional rigidity. Think about how strong a beer can would be if you cut holes in it - after you drank the beer, of course! That's not to say some folk haven't tried it, however. . .
This is when Clark E. would chime in with the engineering involved in cutting holes in beer cans and drinking what comes out of them while applying a known force to the top. Sure do miss Clark's additions to this forum!
dallasi know this might not work but i plane to take the stairs out. where the top stair is i'll bring drivers floor over.so my better half has a place next to me so she can give me some fisical directions now and then. i'm building a three sided box, on up & down rails, from drivers floor to the bottom of bus, with seals aroudbottom of box. this will slide to groud. inside box will be a heavy!!!! floor on rails in box. this will have stopsto raise & lower box & floor. the whole thing will use gables & wench from front of jeep to lift unit, so no stepsray with the littlehouse '77 mc8 in seattle area
Clarke does post on this board occasionally. And on the BNO board occasionally. He really posts very seldom anymore. Probably is involved with his 9 kids.
