So I’m trying to find out if there are any locations in the south for XBracing. I’ve got all the others makes and an opiontment at Paul’s Rv but I’d like to save the $1400 in travel expenses if I can. I’m in Southwest Louisiana so it 2200 mile trip for me to go to Paul’s.

I was in the same situation here in the Dallas area. I could not find anyone in this area that knew the technique. So, I drove the coach to Paul's in April. He has a lady that will drive you to the airport. I bought a roundtrip ticket (South Bend to Dallas and return). Several days later, I flew to back to South Bend and she picked me up. Paul did the X-brace and I also had him do the windshield hoop.

Fuel, airfare and time. I just needed to get it done.

So there is no place in Dallas that does the xbracing any more? I’m just doing the bracing not the hoop so it’s only going to take a couple of days. I’m just going to stay there.

Im wondering what this bracing and windshield hoop does. I have a 2007 45Dl24 with a Spartan K3 chassis and a 600 HP Cummins.. I've been told there has been no bracing done it. I bought it with 35000 miles on it, It now has 53000, rides like a dream, original windshield, No problems at all. Why do I need this stuff?

From my understanding the issue is contained to the K2 chassis. I haven’t had any issues but a blew an air bag in a I-10 on the Atchafalaya Bridge and had no choice but to drive it off now it has to be reinforced.
