I would guess your GVWR is 21000?

Yes, GVWR is 21k.

Wingnut60 is spot on!

Know your weights!

I just ran across this post.
While replacing my slide seals I noticed some minor side wall cracks on the leading edge of my bedroom and vanity slides.

That looks familiar, ours was just bit worse tho. Maybe more time had past, I hadn’t noticed it at all, Jay pointed it out and said he’s seen a fair amount of this type of cracking before. He corrected it and it’s been good ever since.

I had the same issue in the exact same places on my rig. Neither one spread or appeared to cause an issue.

I purchased a 2005 Fleetwood wilderness advenger and I was told that the vehicle that was towing it caught fire and it's basically melted the front of the rv. I'm wanting to fix it but everything I try and look up is t right. Can some one please point me in the right direction. My husband and I live in a camper full time, and we purchased this one to upgrade from what we're In now. So I'd like to get this fixed as soon as possible. Or does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix it if I can't find the replacement
I attached a photo of what I'm talking about. Thanks!
