Anyone have any familiarity with these bunks, use them? or have any information regarding them? Is it worth getting the composites over treated lumber. Any feedback greatly appreciated.....thanks....Capt. Dave
I just changed my bunks, only got 5 years out of originals all freshwater. Bought my rig all new, bunks were completely covered with carpet. You need to leave an open strip on the bottom for drying, 2 bunks actually broke through at once. I have a pal that has composite, not a big difference except what Jimmy said. Make sure to let the glue dry according to specs.
