It's just fiberglass and polyester resin with a thin gelcoat, you are dealing with. Once the air is allowed out, it should flex.
Most of the time will be used in the mold/strongbacks making which once your two templates are made, they can be done in a basement. A couple of weeks of evening with your new spindle sander. Wear a dust mask. Ask System Three out of Portland which epoxies they recommend. An old eggbeater hand drill is the perfect tool for drilling the tiny holes for the injection. Big agricultural syringes might be harder to come by.
The repair can easily be done on a weekend, and covered by, get this, a tarp, chuckle.
My neighbor has done a couple of delams under windows on his '08 Fleetwood toy hauler. And has a couple more to do.
We have ORV travel trailer which had 1/32" or less checkerplate on the nose, which I dented. I replaced it with 1/16", and framing behind it. 2 years in ! I had a hard time finding a shop to roll 1/8" so I swapped the 1/8" for 1/16" and got a free roll.
My hunting camper is a stick and tin.
Nash might still be using the mold , so you might ask them for parts. They are just south and east of you in Le Grande . That would do a much nicer job, but it would be more work.
BAHAHAHA cover it with the initial offender. No covered workspace unless I build it myself. I may have to wait to do it when I get to san diego and just keep it watertight in the interim. Which really sucks because I presently have access to all of my tools. Definitely, something to think about.
Ya, down tracker doesn't understand the delam on the front of these campers. You're not just gluing it back on. It's too stiff. May crack even if clamped properly.
I have same camper, same issue. Asthetics only, no rot.
I've considered doing the same presh. About $150 for a full sheet of 1/16" diamond plate. If I did that, I think I'd screw down the pooched out areas, hopefully flat and then run 1 piece from the top seam to just the end of the bottom curve, covering the whole front. If it for good enough, you might get away with no screws on the front face or at least just the left and right edges, and could hide screws under the window trim.
