Integrity Horse Trailer Living Quarters Nose Sheet Replacement

Because Action RV is well known nationaly for specializing in aluminum trailer collision repairs, the owner of this Integrity horse trailer asked us to make the repairs on this trailer. replacing exterior sheets on horse trailers is always a labor intensive project because most of these trailers are built in a modular fashion and almost always from the inside out, which makes it very tricky to end up with a flawless repair. Because this trailer has a living quarters in it, that only complicates matters. We first start out by removing all of the exposed fasteners, then work to start peeling the sheet off of the main structural supports which happens to have been bonded with 3M VHB tape.

Now that the old panel is removed, we start the prep work in making sure that there are no burrs or protrusions that will leave dents in the newly installed nose sheet. One issue that this trailer had from day one when it was first built, was that the original sheet was only held in place at the top roof rail by a 3/8" slot, not the usual 1". This is what allowed the panel to buckle at the top roof rail in several areas, this was a design flaw from the factory that we had to contend with. The solution was to add HD stainless steel rivets to the front area of the nose sheet. We then had the new stainless nose sheet sheared to the exact measurements, preped and then wresteled into place by several assistants. Once all of the fasteners were installed, the protective covering was removed exposing the highly polished stainless steel sheet, followed up with some caulking and liberal amounts of windex.

Coachmen tire blow-out repair

This is a Coachmen class C motor home that experianced a rear tire blow-out that caused a fair amount of damage to the wheel well area. The damage included a bent exhaust tail pipe, burned inner wheel well wall, burnt exterior fiberglass (as a result of the bent exhaust), shredded plastic fender flare, bent aluminum propane gas line shield and a blown air bag/air line.

We first started by installing the new section of fiberglass sheeting that is called "Filon", then we routed all of the wall openings and the tapered bottom edge along with the fender opening. After installing the door, moldings and feder flare, we preped the surface for the new acrylic urethane clear coat paint finish. Fortunately, we were able to get the exact paint formula from Coachmen and was able to provide a factory blend. We then installed the new air bag, new propane shield and finished off the inner wheel well wall with a new sheet of aluminum that was sealed and finished off with a coat of rubberized under coating.
