Livin Lite VRV aluminum oxidation

Its a vrv 7x16, silver color. I think its a 2010. My repair plan for now is to look the other way. I don't know if you can stop the corrosion once it starts. Eventually I guess I'll have to order from livinlite the flat sheets of the same color and take the doors apart to replace them.

If not I could source sheets locally in a contrasting color but I don't think that would look too good. If its going to look different anyway, maybe a fiberglass skin would be better to avoid having the same problem develop again.

Keysey, what trailer do you have and what year? Are you repairing or replacing damaged areas? And I do believe it is moisture getting in causing the damage. We have chaulked the windows but damage is already done.
My reasons for choosing this trailer is the same as your, light weight and corrosion resistantance. I also pulled with a jeep (until it died). Now I use a gmc Sierra pickup.
As you say, these trailers aren't cheap and they should last longer than 2 to 3 yrs!

We have a small side door that accesses the front storage area really corroded. We are also starting to see one of the queen bed doors bubble up under the paint approximately 1 sq ft. Also the big back door is having the same problem around the hardware.

The two big selling points for me was the light weight and the corrosion resistant aluminum construction because we tow with a a jeep and live 1/8 mile from saltwater. First thing we learned is wind resistance is a killer more than weight and now we have the corrosion popping up everywhere.

I'm in construction. In coastal areas (within 1/2 mile of salt or brackish water) metal material manufacturers do not warranty the galvanized metal roof panels whether they are painted or mill finish. But in painted aluminum, they offer standard warranties between 25 and 35 years. Therefore, I figured I was good with this trailer.

Maybe its moisture getting trapped between the aluminum and whatever coring is behind there or incompatible metallic shavings than weren't blown out before assembly. Anyway, it's very disapointing. Size for size,these things aren't cheap.

We had the same problem with our TC door. We had to take pictures and send them to Livin Lite. At the time our camper was less than a year old and they replaced the door under warranty. We have had other issues also. Good luck because stuff like this is a big PITA!
