Underside Membrane (Coroplast) Compromised

[Country Campers]

Mike

An add on I just remembered , If your spare tire is undermount towards the back of the camper you may want to drop it and see how big of a hole is above the tire in the coroplast.
Mine was big enough to drive a truck thru.
Taped it up with gorilla tape.

Never had issues with taping it. I seriously doubt they'll install a new coroplast nor would I expect that.

Just my thought but, why would a dealer cut the coroplast when removing a few screws to gain access would be the acceptable dealer maintenance procedure? ALSO.... check your spare tire [if it is an undermount]. Make sure it is mounted so that you can access the valve stem to check air pressure. I had the flip my spare tire to get access to the valve stem.

Because cutting a hole and taping it up is muck quicker than removing several screws and dropping the coroplast.

They do make a special tape for colorplast repairs. It works and sticks very well. I bought and used it and carry it with me in our RV. Duct tape not last and will fall off.

They make that same tape with a zipper in the middle.

The tape is continuous under the zipper so that you can wait to open the zipper and cut the tape if you need to open this area again.
One problem is that the zipper is a fixed length and cannot be disconnected at either end. I purchased some of this a while ago . . . planning to make an opening panel, but because the zipper only opens a "slot" I have not tried it. You might be able to curve it into a semi-circle to make an opening flap.

Edit: Just noticed that the Amazon link says "currently unavailable" . . . maybe from another supplier ?

Tape with a zipper. A true first world solution. What a world we live in.
