The Challenge: Refurbishing a Pop-Up Trailer

If you’re an RV owner, you know how tough the elements can be on your vehicle over time. This was certainly the case with Lamar’s pop-up trailer. The cover flew off when driving down the highway and the top suddenly needed to be repaired. He wanted to restore it, focusing on functionality, aesthetics, and durability.

Instead of opting for costly professional repairs, Lamar rolled up his sleeves and got to work. His secret? A little patience, skill, and the right materials. 

The Tools of the Trade

Here’s what Lamar used to tackle the project to ensure high-quality results: 

• ISO Resin: Perfect for creating durable, chemical-resistant bonds, this resin ensures the repair will withstand the elements.
• 1.5 oz Chopped Strand Mat: Used to build up the thickness of the damaged area, this is a go-to for repairs that need reinforcement.
• 6 oz Fiberglass Cloth: Great for adding a smooth, strong layer to the repair for added durability. 
• White Gelcoat (No Wax): Provides that perfect glossy and protective finish, keeping the trailer looking brand-new.
• Surface Seal: Added to the final layer of gelcoat to ensure a hard, tack-free surface that protects against wear and tear.
