Advice on RV trailer fender

Posted
  • Staff

Last time out with the 5th wheel the right side fender decided to customize itself. I was wondering if any one else has had this happen and what they did or have an idea.  

New replacements are $150 each which I think is a lot for molded ABS.  There is aluminum trim fenders for $90 each or rubber trim for $50 for two.  One other thought was take the other side off and have fiberglass copies made by one of my customers that glasses surfboards.

    The floor grates for the trailer's heater vents were beat up so I made new ones out of the scrap. pieces.

I need some on mine. This would be a lot better than to new plastic fenders like what came on it. If you know someone who has a metal break you could just crease them a little near the roll for a little rigidity. I like them.

    The only thing I would change is I would toss hardware mesh behind the floor vents to keep little things from dropping in the floor duct.
