[Rhodes22-list] FW: Tabernacle brace

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I believe the most common reason for the tabernacle to pull out when 
lowering the mast is failure to have the pop-top slider in the raised 
position in the mas slot or failure to close the sliding hatch on the 
pop-top (been there, done that) either of which create a fulcrum 
effect and allow the mast (the lever) to pry the tabernacle loose. 
Filling the holes with sawdust/toothpicks and epoxy and then 
resetting the screws worked just fine for us. It was nearly 15 years 
ago and we haven't had a problem with it since. (knock on wood)
