Folding Coutertop Extension

Arrived at our last Campsite just South of St. Louis and found the brackets that support the folding counter extension had broken. One was completely separated at the top where it bends (broke at the bend) and the other was cracked and ready to go as well. I found a shop with a wire welder and they repaired both brackets and added a small gusset at the top where it broke.
The reason for the breakage is the shelf is very heavy and when in the down (stored) position, it has no support other than the angle at the top. The added gussets should prevent a repeat.
I also must admit the Illinois interstate I-55 going into and through St. Louis is pretty rough. Still happy about our purchase though. I think most of our bugs have been found and fixed.
