Winkowski 5th wheel

At the top of the cap, you will notice the tape used to seal the damage from the tree branch.

The water intrusion caused the fiberglass skin to delaminate. When the wind caught it, it came off completely.

As we disassembled the trailer and removed rotten materials, we were able to see more of the damage in it's entirety. 

Button

We saw the interior wall paneling was also soaked and rotten. 

Button

We removed all the interior paneling and saw some damage to the front framing as well. 

Button

The wood was rotten at the bottom and had fallen apart. There was also damage to the top of the frame where the branch had made contact. 

Button

When we removed all the rotten material, we saw that the trailer was framed for a slide and was never completed to be a trailer without a slideout.

Button

We framed it out to maintain a bit more structural integrity. 

Button

With the framing complete on the side and the front, we were able to install new interior wall paneling. 

Button

Then we installed new rigid insulation.

And finally the new skin.

Given the age and condition of the trailer, our customer decided that instead of seaming the fiberglass and blending the paint, he would rather install a molding over the seam and hide it behind the awning arm. 

Button

He can camp with the peace of mind that his trailer is solid, and dry. 

Button

He left as a happy camper, ready for his next destination.
