How to prevent front cap and side wall damage

Join me in this video and you will see mistakes that the manufacturer made during the building assembly of the unit.

Some of my findings Include:

• Beltline molding was cut short during production and was missing screws on both sides.

• The roof membrane material was cut short during production and exposed TPO roof sheeting.

• No sealants were applied between the RV front cap and wall joints surface, which allowed water to penetrate, casing damage to the lower front cap wall.

I had given the owner different options for repairs at the time of this video: full RV front cap replacement or adding additional diamond sheeting to help save existing material.

More about groups

These Facebook groups were created to help educate owners about parts, problems, repairs, fixes, and upgrades on RV units. We will be sharing videos that include WHAT’S IN THE SHOP? and SHOP TALK episodes with information on accessories and products that we use and install on the units from the shop.

We try and help as time allows to answer questions and problems. We encourage others to share their experience so we can build a resource page to help everyone.

Please follow us on YouTube, see our published articles on RVtravel.com and other social media pages.

Please feel free to share your stories, problems, and upgrades with us so we can build a resource page to help others.
