The Old Fake Vent Trick Repair

Yes, sometimes you can pop a dent back out, but if it is complex you can tinker all day trying to make it look like it was and it just gets worse. Body filler does work on the aluminum siding. Then some white paint and you can get close to not bad. Still see where the tree branch attacked you, but not so obvious, sort of.

In this case, with a complex dent, it was so much easier just to hide it. It is a different attitude when you have an eleven year old trailer that already has a few dings in it, than if you had a new one or were hoping to get a good price for it used.

Many dents can be pulled out using a plumber's helper. If there's a hole, one layer of fiberglass cloth with resin is virtually transparent (small patch kits are available).

Just a thought, you could relocate the license plate. You could have wired it to the clearance light. Too late now.

My wifes famous words..... keep backing....a little more...STOP!! pull ahead a little, you are against the eavestrough. She thinks it is there for cushion, before hitting the garage roof!

No, the offending eavestrough needed a fix-up too. Pop-rivets everywhere! That's probably why people sell their stick houses and go full-timing, so the house can't attack the RV anymore.

Yes to the TV, several channels. Solar panels are fairly useless there though.

Decals? I'm thinking hologram. Wonder how many amps that would take? Are they 12v or 120? In fact could hologram the whole trailer so it looks like we have a new Mobile Suites :) Be a variation of the Philadelphia Experiment.

Do you really get OTA TV signals in the trees there for your Television?

Looks good to me! Just adds some nice character.

I thought that was why decals were invented.

Covering up dents when driver used brail method.

Too late, I just painted it white. The shower doesn't work anymore (froze, tap cracked, now isolated) so someday I can just replace the whole thing. We never did use it. BTW, when draining the water for winter, don't forget the outside shower! :(
