Water damage to front and back found on 07 Coachmen 5er

After reviewing a ton of blogs nd forums, I decided to take the leap of faith in restoring our 5th wheel as a result of water damage..
  • One of the biggest issues I had was finding the right adhesive to glue things back together.

    Use 3M Fastbond 10 contact cement to glue all the panels back on. Follow instructions as temperature and moisture affect results.

    Check out my rebuild document. Hopefully you will find some helpful information in there.

  • How much damage are you looking at? As long as you're handy there's nothing that can't be fixed in a trailer. Once I started tearing our trailer apart I was surprised at what was holding it together for all those years. 2x2's and staples was really it and some of those 2x2's we're even ripped down smaller.

    Good luck with your project. There's a wealth of knowledge on this forum if you have any questions.
