I am looking for 2 pcs- 11" long channel C6 x 13 is the preferred size but could also use C6 x 10.5. Anyone have any suggestions where I can find this? I have no idea where to look and i would like to avoid buying a while piece of channel if i can avoid it.

Thanks guys! I talked to K&K and they did not have my stuff in stock, very polite and i would not hesitate to call them again. I ended up riding what I needed with Metal Supermarkets and was able to get the 2 pieces i needed for less than $25.00! Thanks again for all the input

Next up, finding a torch to rent/borrow so I can cut off the old steel to weld on the new steel! I am lifting my camper to get more ground clearance and maybe even go up in tire size if there is enough room!

Jason,
I have a plasma cutter and I'd be happy to help you. I'm near Tower Rd and Smoky Hill Rd in Aurora; just send me an email if you want to come over. If the camper can't be brought to me and you have an good sized air compressor, I can bring my equipment to you for gas money and help you at your place - time will be an issue though, so let me know soon.

Thanks Bryan! I actually just finished it off this weekend. Nice little project that took much longer than i thought it would. It was about 8 hours total time.

I still may want to armor the bottom a little better so I will keep your suggestion in mind after this first camping trip with it.
