    Punctured fiberglass side wall - how to repair/seal

    Hi all - first time travel trailer owner here (Imagine 2500RL 2023). I made an idiot newbie move this weekend. Was installing TV mount in master bedroom and used lag screws that were too long and all 5 of them punched out the exterior sidewall. The holes are little so for now I plugged them with white and black waterproof silicon. I'm sure this will prevent water but what bugs me is the little bumps on the exterior. QUESTION: I bought from a dealer that has a service center nearby. Anyone had a similar situation and has more of a profession exterior siding repair process.

    Thanks.

    It can be repaired by a body shop.

    They do a fiberglass repair then would paint and hang new decals.

    Thanks. So you suggest taking it to a body shop that can do fiberglass repair vs the RV dealer I purchased it from?

    Absolutely. An RV dealer wouldn’t know anything about the repair

    Some marine shops will also do fiberglass fix and color matching.

    All depends on your dealership.

    We have a full body shop/repair facility, so it would be an easy fix.

    Others, probably not so much...
