Travel Trailer underbelly

Hello there. Just wanted to see if anyone has had this situation before and let me know if I'm going in the right direction. Took the Cougar out this weekend and finally had my first casualty (not that I was looking for one) the plastic corrugated underbelly protectant (lack of a term here--not sure what its called) it came off and I drug it for quite sometime before I realised what was happening. Got it home and screwed it back up...it was one piece, not its two..Soo, my conundrum.. I was going to find a plastic corrugated piece, screw it up to the frame with glue/liquid nails.....or use a piece of 24G Aluminum. What ever I do, I want to make sure there is no gap where wind can go up under and start flapping then ultimately ripping the plastic corrugated again.

Has anyone else ran into this??

the corrugated panels also helps prevent the tanks from freezing. reduces areo drag.

I was going to splice in a piece and have it over lap like shingles..from front to rear...so wind etc etc.. Home depot has it online for 110 bucks... will go there. as for the glue part, was to seal so no water could get up there...but water can go anywhere...so might not glue it...

Gorilla tape around the perimeter and at seems works great. I would not glue it on in case you have to take it off for a repair.

Overlap from rear to front and you should be good. For an extra measure you could tape the seams

I believe it is called coroplast and can be found at Home Depot. I've had mine down a few times to make repairs/changes to my fresh water system. It is secured with self-tapping screws with large diameter washers. I then fill the gaps with a shot of expanding foam to make it air tight and keep rodents out. I have not had it blow off. There are several pieces to my underbelly covering and it is overlapped such that there are no wind catching edges from frontal wind.
