Tellaro bed access panel

[Gray Nomad]

Purchased new 2022 Thor Tellaro 20L and first night the access panel under one of the beds dropped down in the bed frame. The access panel was supported by 4 small wood blocks stapled to the frame. That design will cause a problem in every Tellaro that Thor sells. Looking for a suggestion because I’m sure this has happened to other Tellaro owners.

Yup. Me too. The blocks are installed with 2 staples and a short sheet metal screw with bout 1/8 inch of engagement. I'm going to epoxy and clamp mine.

Thanks for the reply. I tried wood glue and clamps which was better but ultimately they fell out also. I solved my problem with 2 wood supports across the opening held in place with bolts, over-sized flat washers and wing nuts. Definitely supports the weight of someone sitting on that area and easy to remove when i winterized my rig. The wood supports were 18" long, 4" wide and 3/4" thick.

A man after my own heart. Make it both bulletproof and maintainable.
