I sure did, insurance gave an estimate of $11,000 to fix the fiberglass and awning. I fixed the fiberglass for around $200, and the new awning for around $1400, and a couple days labor. Thanks for the comment and good luck on your project!
Looks to me like you did a good job. You definitely have encouraged me to tackle a similar project. I managed to back our motorhome into a tree when I was parking it on our property. I will get on that project soon. Thanks for posting your excursion into fiberglass repair.
Thank you, I know it sucks when we make dumb mistakes with our RV's. Just have to look at the positives, like I learned a new skill. LOL. Overall it was not that bad of a job. The biggest thing for me was that it was time consuming because I probably put more fiberglass on than I needed and I had to sand a lot.
Good job! I cracked my rear bumper (fender) and repaired it like this: once you’ve done it you have the confidence to do more such repairs yourself… so I’m about to get started on a similar accident with a high branch.
Saved yourself a good chunk of change, gonna do this on my 5th wheel front cap, good job 👍

Excellent job. Thanks for the content!
Why Thank you for the comment! I owe you a six pack of Busch Lattes for the kind words 🤣
Great video. Gives me encouragement to tackle my own repair!
Thank you, It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Just had a lot of sanding 😂

I agree, I hope I don't have to do it again, but if I have to I definitely will have a lot more confidence!
Accidents happen Anyone that has an RV has had problems before. I have done some fiberglass jobs on ours. Great job
It hurt when I first did it, but I am glad for the experience to (somewhat) learn a new skill. Thank you for the comment!
excellent
I appreciate the excellent comment, Thank You!
can you post what kind of epoxy/resin you used and where you got it? i like the pump system i don't want to deal with measuring
I posted a link to the epoxy I used in the description. It is the west system. The pump system is definitely much easier, just one to one.
Why didn’t you removed lights lenses and did a better sanding whole top ???
Hindsight, I wish I had. I should have taken off the metal awning bracket as well since I was replacing it anyway. Thanks for the comment.
