The bracket does not sit flush. Any body with a aluminum trailer have a slide topper?? If so is the bracket flush?? Is the aluminum bent to allow the bracket to be tightened until flush??

On my trailer the bracket is going to go right where the aluminum siding is extruded from the side. Is any of you siding bent to accommodate the bracket?? I could not tell from the photo. scootsk • View posts Long Island, NY Senior Member Joined: 06/04/2001 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 04/02/05 04:38pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thank you for your time Larry canman • View posts Winston Salem, NC New Member Joined: 10/01/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/02/05 07:16pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have a slide topper on my aluminum trailer and the brackets are mounted on the flat of the aluminum. The aluminum is not bent. closurdo • View posts Michigan Senior Member Joined: 10/27/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 03/31/05 04:41pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Unfortunately my trailer is in storage, but I did look a a higher resolution picture of the side of my trailer and it appears that the brackets are mounted on a flat spot on the aluminum. I don't see that the aluminum is bent at all.
