Hi Everybody!
I used to be known as Tioga-George when I wrote the Adventures of Tioga and George blog.
I am the guy who had my RV's walls fiberglassed together. First I removed all of those ugly aluminum extrusion corners that Fleetwood installed on my MsTioga RV. Then, Jose the fiberglass guy fiberglassed each wall to the adjacent wall. By fiberglassing all of the walls together with these fiberglass corners, and doing the same fiberglass layup on the roof, my RV, in effect, became one big fiberglass part. In other words, the roof, the four walls, the cabover: are all one piece.
The fiberglass layup is made up of three layers. This is the same layup (thickness) that is used to build a fiberglass fishing boat. Amazingly strong! And easily repaired in case of an accident.
Since I used Jose the Fiberglass guy in 2007, located in the City of Constitutcion in Baja California del Sur, I began living in the Pueblo of Santillan, a suburb of Tequisquiapan, Queretaro, Mexico. About a kilometer from where I am living in Santillan, is Panchito's Body shop. Jose the Fiberglass Guy was an amazingly talented master of fiberglass.
However, Panchito and his father Don Pancho, are even more talented with fiberglass than Jose. Also, Jose could not spray paint. While Panchito is a fabulously talented painter and mechanic.
If you are considering repairing your fiberglass RV, perhaps doing what I did, including converting your rubber roof on your RV to fiberglass, i suggest you come down to the Pueblo of Santillan and do what I did. Let Panchito and Don Pancho do their magic on your RV.
You will be soooooo happy that you did!
Bye for now,
George
