The Old Fake Vent Trick Repair

The house attacked the trailer and the eavestrough corner made an ugly dent



All fixed!

  • Well you sure can't miss that,it draws the eye like a bee to honey.I would have removed the exterior light and used a long screwdriver or something similar to reach in and ease/push the aluminum siding out as far as possible,similar to the dent removable system on vehicles.Maybe I am just too picky.I have seen the vent used before but this style that high up just seems a little too much.Sorry if I sound too critical,don't mean to be.

    Not me! I read about that on rv.net somewhere and remembered it when it was my turn. :)

    Still, adopting that puts you in a different realm, IMO.:B

  • Nice job. That was very tricky. I hate when houses, buildings and gas pumps attack our RVs

    Assume he left the original siding in place and just screwed it on top of the dent, But.....:R
  • The damage did not poke a hole in the siding, thank goodness, and I sealed the two screw holes, so not expecting any leaks.
