Now I'm at a point in the dismantle just aft of the rear most axle behind the grey water tank. The curbside damage continues here too. This is the area inside the frame but behind the rear most area of the axle mount plate at the point where it is welded to the outside of the frame. Looking from the exterior of the frame it is possible to see where the frame has rotted through the round holes in the axle plate. I'm not sure why these round holes exist in the axle plate. Perhaps to save weight or give more weld points. However in any case the light shining through the frame in the photos is shining through those holes in the axle plate on the other side of the frame. The roadside of the frame is okay. Still has the original black paint! The curbside obviously must have been facing the Gulf of Mexico!
