I guess it is my turn... Dude! Why didn't you write Robert or another moderator personally with this issue? I have followed many of your posts and I feel you do have some sound experience in repairs. But as best I know, mobile home underbelly is made to be pest resistant. I got this information from Fleetwood factory reps many years ago. But I did not feel strongly enough in someone else's information (might be puffing) to repeat their statement. With a quick search, I found the following statement from Foremost Insurance,
www.mygreathome.com
"On top of the chassis rests a piece of black fiberboard, fiberglass cloth or heavy tarpaper called the underbelly. The underbelly protects the home from moisture, animals and insects, and helps insulate the subfloor."
To dispute a professional like Robert, you would need some type of factual evidence to support your claim, not just make conflicting statements.
While we want a blending of different ideas and opinions, we do not want argumentative posts. You are welcome to post your opinion, but not demand that you are correct. The moderators of this forum, along with the well mannered members (including yourself) help to make this forum pleasant, informative and polite. I also use other forums. But they are nothing like this one. I use Plexi Palace at vintageamps.com to learn about modifications and settings for guitar use. But, it should be R rated. Outright forum fights and expletives are in almost every thread. I just hope to get the info I need before things get out of hand. It is the moderators that set the boundaries in any forum.
I hope you understand our position and continue to participate in our forum.
