What is the black fabric under there? What's it called and where can I get more of it? Also, Westend mentioned gaffers tape to reseal it. I've never heard of gaffers tape. Is it known by other names and where do I get it? Will other types of tape work also? Thanks for the replies.
The stuff on mine looks like tyvek, and cuts like it - a bunch of plastic fibers woven in criss-crossing directions... just that it's black instead of white. I don't know where to get more, I imagine a rv parts store sells it in rolls. I considering using geo-textile (landscaping fabric) to repair my cuts if they could not be taped directly.
"Gaffers tape" is a catch-all label for a cloth tape with heavy adhesive, like duct tape is a catch-all for reinforced nylon/pvc tape with heavy adhesive. I used outdoor rated duct tape to repair the cuts I made in my underbelly.
