The other day I noticed my RV had a few large dents on the outside of it. Also the wheel wells were looking very rusted. The photos of your repairs are all awesome. They are going to help me out a lot when I start working on my own RV this week. Thanks again for posting these awesome photos. http://www.cherokeefarmsrvcenter.com/service--repair.html
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy that the photos are helpful - it's always nice to help out a fellow RVer. :-) Hope everything goes well with your repairs.
DeleteThanks for sharing your story. There’s nothing more frustrating than noticing damage to a vehicle, let alone your mobile home! What a thrifty husband you have, though. Love the great step-by-step pictures. The before and after pictures demonstrate quite the transition. These will surely help other RVer’s who might be in the same boat. I know I’ll pass these along to my husband for reference!
