Thanks for the video....I've used simple roofing metal horizontally. strong, waterproof, and nearly explosion proof for the next event!
Nice job bud, same happened to me, I'll be following your lead
Nice work.. what surprise me is how expensive these things are and how poorly materials they used on the roof and on the underbelly...
Definitely a tough lesson to learn but a very good one. The tires on your camper are probably the most important thing to make sure you maintain and replace with as high a quality as you can. When a tire blows this is the kind of damage you can expect at a minimum and can be completely catastrophic at the worst.
I learned the hard way for sure!
Nicely done. I've just found similar damage to the plywood in the same location. Cut the house wrap material and exposed soggy wet plywood. Been trying to figure out a remedy for 3 days now, then I found this. Right now I'm hoping the wet wood is contained to this area and not infiltrated to more. But you've given me ideas to proceed.
Run them a max of 3 years then replace. If you see any cracks replace. Keep them covered from the sun when stored. Cheap insurance vs cost to repair or causing an accident. Sell or give away the old ones if they still have some life left . Ive tried my luck with weathered tires on my 16ft utility trailer and boat trailer without success and unfortunately learned the hard way. I stop every hour to chech tire and hub temperature. Getting a new camper next week and will be addig some sort of protection from blowouts asap since it is always a possibility. Thinking of fabricating 1/8 plate steel inner fenders or possibly marine grade plywood faced with sheet metal. Safe travels.
Great job. Probably better than before.
Very helpful! Thank you! Unfortunately my entire water barrier lining right up through the sandwiched foam core flooring in my entire camper is shot from water damage. I’ve been looking for a solution and have had a hard time finding any videos on how to fix it! This might help!
So glad I found this video. When my tire blew it shredded the black plastic fabric. Purchased replacement that included tape, that came off within hours. Thinking of using the spray rhino truck liner. Any thoughts?
Rhino liner would probably work great.
I would recommend running the corrugated plastic with the 'channels' running the opposite direction. The way they're running now, they're in a perfect position to channel water directly in toward that un-treated plywood sitting on top of the frame. And with it being sealed in with bedliner, it has nowhere to go but into the wood.
It will probably take a little while before a piece of road debris or something punctures that plastic enough to allow water intrusion, but it's almost guaranteed to happen sooner or later.
Very true. I think I’m still better off how it is now than before. Great tip for the future!

Yeah, definitely an improvement.
Nice video let's see more
Excellent👏🏻💯
The construction you're seeing there is how your entire floor is made most likely. It's two very thin sheets of plywood with Styrofoam in the middle.
Some manufactures put a piece of sheet metal above the tires just so if your tires blow it doesn't do as much damage.
That would make more sense!
Thanks for the step-by-step, it was really useful for my similar trailer repair. Were you worried about any of the black rot from the water damage?
I removed all of the bad wood. The little bit of mold that was on the styrofoam was dry and I don’t think it will cause any problems. If you were worried, I spray it with bleach water and then let it dry out before reconstruction.
'little to do with "weather check" if your tires is 4 years old (learn to read DOT manufacture date), YOU are certainly on borrowed time....... BOOM! The manufacturers need to be imprisoned!
@@sevanson1 no kidding!
Amazon tires 😢
They are doing great so far.
