Cut or Drop Coroplast Wisdom

[RickLight]

This works much better then other types of adhesive tapes:

X2! Great stuff

I cut my underbelly into 4 strips, creating cross pieces as needed. An emergency caused the original wild surgery, but it's been great ever since. Too many thing protruding together them all lined up again.

Remember, if you do a 3 cut square, leave the uncut side facing the front.

Then close up with black gorilla tape.

Great Advice! Didn’t think of that one. Thank you.

Thanks Minnow, I'm gonna have to order up some of that to keep the Gorilla tape company...and like Flystar, hope I never use it.

Thank you for all the great input. Will likely not cut it unless I have to, such as something in the middle and not enough time to do a proper drop/scrape/zip tie/reinstall/refoam.

A roll of 4” gorilla is going the tool box with the hope of never needing it. Right next to the PEX crimper and fittings and and volt meter and spare wet bolts and wheel bearings and AAV valves, and spare schwintec motor and cable and propane pigtail hoses and length of romex and …

I’m thinking about a welding machine. Not really.

LOL...You don't have enough stuff yet.......I see you don't have these for your taps yet....in case there is a little room left in the tool box.

It's a pkg of ten. I haven't used yet but was told these are the ones to get from a knowledgeable person on the other site.

You might consider (if you have access to one, otherwise they can be rented at most tool rental shops) a rolling transmission jack. I got mine at Harbor Freight years ago for tranny maint on my various vehicles. I used one on my coroplast to change out a dump valve and it worked great as a center placed deadman (similar to a sheet rock deadman) to hold up the coroplast in the very middle while I screwed in the sides. I just rolled it forward to lift the coroplast as I went from side to side screwing it back to the frame. Using this method I was able to do the entire job myself with no help, and, without cutting the coroplast - even on a gravel pad at a campground.

Handy tool for holding up a lot of things!

An on-the-road alternative is a 10ft 2X4, some leveling blocks and your truck jack or a bottle jack. Stack some blocks on one side just about the height of the belly. Span the belly with the 2x4, with one end on the blocks and the other on the jack. Raise the jack and adjust the blocks as needed to hold. If there are two of you, one can pull the coroplast forward and the other can raise the jack to hold it tight.

Did it this way when I helped a friend do several repairs and upgrades to his trailer.

I actually do have a bag of those already. And a spray can of brake kleen and grease and a grease gun with locking dohickey and wheel bearing seals and eternally yours bond tape and electrolyte grease and slide lube that the use of which has fallen out of favor these days. Some distilled water for the old shook batteries, a compressor, a little generator, a little can of gas for generator, a collapsible ladder, jack stands, bottle jack, heated hose 50’ long cuz you never know where that faucet will be, 3 different lengths and brand of sticky slinky with assorted doughnuts. Dewalt heat gun and heat shrink tubing, plumbers grease to keep the toilet seal lubed, a roll of twine just because, a bucket, a potable water tank that I’ve never used, two orange traffic cones, orange vest, fire extinguisher in the truck next to the umbrellas.

I’m thinking about a propane grill instead of the little Webber charcoal grill with charcoal and lighter. Yep.

Campsite carpet.

Tin snips. Torque wrench. Breaker bar.

Also love the 2 x 4 idea. No room for that in the truck but could get one if needed. Nice.

Do you have any spare leaf springs?

Gorilla tape lasted a year. We had a stuck grey tank valve thanks to a "factory" wood cutout dropped into the tank.

Local mobile RV tech told me he uses a quality silicone caulk adhesive and a political signs to patch corroplast.

Worked for me. Held everything in place with staples until the caulk dried. A little black spray paint and a good use for all those stupid signs.

Our original dealer recommended mobile home underbelly repair tape - even gave me some years ago to get started on a project. It held for years.
