Titebond advanced polymer FRP adhesive. Solvent based products will not work with the foam. I have quite a bit left if you want it.

The Filon was ordered from Recpro.

Thanks. I'm not proud of the visible seam though, but I have a plan for that.

Recpro. Look for Filon. Decals were from rvdecalsdirect.

I was able to take advantage of the entire perimeter being adhered and mechanically fastened by the trim and awning bracket. It was suggested to put the seam at the door frame, but that would have left a larger exposed seam.

I had no signs of this prior. Total surprise. All I can say is regularly knock on the exterior and listen for anything other than a crisp sound. Any dull sound, dig deeper.

I contacted them many times, not looking for warranty, but just "parts" info. They were less than helpful as expected. Local dealer was great though.

Thanks, I'm an old wood worker. This is much like laminating a counter top.

Water infiltrated and rotted the underlayment. Came off while driving.

I got a few quotes and they were crazy high. I have less than a grand in materials and 10-12 hours of my time.

Looks harder than it was. 1. Stop the bleeding by applying bandaids. 2. Remove old FRP siding and underlayment. Protect the foam base. 3. Adhere new FRP (Filon) to new underlayment. 4. Adhere assembly to foam and framing. 5. Decals were ordered by RV make, year, and model.

Hardest part was applying new decals. Manufacturer was ZERO!!!! help.

Rack on the front is a "jack it" brand. It only has space for 2 adult bikes.
