BENDING ALUMINUM - How to Build a DIY Window Cover for Your RV , Travel Trailer or Camper

I finally get to one of my most important projects. Eddie's front window has been collecting water and now I have build a exterior cover for it by custom bending a straight 8 foot pierce of aluminum.

Awesome thank you!

Well, that came out terrific!👍

[@philhoneycutt9153]

Another great addition to Eddie. Awesome job Scott!

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks again!

Another job well done. Not a fan of the latch. I'm sure there are high end plastic latches that would prevent rattling that will ruin your trailer exterior and the protective covering. Possibly some kind of a gasket. Auto supply stores have hoses. Slicing alongside lengthwise and attaching it to the aluminum frame could also defuse the dust and dirt from building up underneath. Some latches also do a bit of a ratcheting. Effectively bringing a finer snuge fit.
Never ben there done that. Not all my ideas work. But you're a relentless problem solver like me.
Always a pleasure watching your bild. And enjoy the way you work through things . Hope you have another great day.

Thanks

Brilliant idea and outcome with that window cover - I see you have the market covered on clamps 😂

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Almost ran out! 🤣

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for the video Scott. 😁👍

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Any time!

[@reddirt5489]

Looks really nice!

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

I enjoyed this project, you did a nice job of the manufacture and Install. A number of years ago in an industrial setting we were introduced to 3-M VHB tape in sample form by a 3-M rep, from the initial trials to general usage the product exceeded our expectations over mechanical fasteners, in non safety applications.

Brother I wish I had your skills! Looking good!

[@DrenalinAdventures]

I appreciate that

[@JohnSmith-ev1sm]

I like the obvious pride you put into this project. I have a similar desire, though I'll start with an empty enclosed trailer because my skills with water leaks ... well, it's just easier for me to start with a professionally built shell. For your covers, one thing that might give a little more strength in the spots where you taped it, is rivets? Kind of like air stream, think they use quite a few. Not sure how that would work with weather proofing though.

[@suzisaintjames]

Show us how you incorporate the latch to hold the cover up during camping. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Will do!!

[@Masterchief68]

One can never have “too many” clamps😂😂

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Nice fabrication 👍 🙏

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks a lot

[@DiscGolfAU]

Looks good

[@tennyis28]

Nice! This would make a good method for a table top as well I was thinking of a flat surface for the tailgate and may do something similar

[@DrenalinAdventures]

That would be cool!

[@flywiseman]

nice work

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@johntatman9168]

I may have missed this in a previous video but would you be willing to share how much the entire build cost.

[@chrisao1987]

So what did you come up with for propping it up?

[@ProbablyStonedComments]

We don’t use any heat to bend our aluminum, but it was 112 degrees today🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🥲

[@DrenalinAdventures]

That’s “heat” in Canada. Lol.
