Thank you for the thorough explanation of choosing the right size rivet, installation, and the bonus of how to shorten one, if need be. More fiberglass info anytime! (-8
❤❤❤ thank you for your video on rivets and scamp trailers I've got the opposite I need to replace rivets on a casita trailer to put up the curtain rods thank you for sharing it made it easy and I'm going to try it Hank you❤❤❤❤
My trailer is a 1976 and all the caps have come off all the rivets, I have been scared to replace them all but this video answered all my questions perfectly..... Thank you so much.
This was excellent information given in a very detailed, understandable way. I wish Scamp would be more with it and put out detailed videos like this for their clients. Thankyou so much, Brook. EXCELLENT!!!!
this was super helpful, and you did an amazing job. we have a 1985 scamp and we're replacing all our rivets because of your inspiriation. thanks for taking the effort!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain what has been a perplexing problem for me. Now I can get to work replacing some rivets on my Casita. Great video and very clear explanations. Thank you so much!!
Great job Brook. I've been afraid to drill those things out. Those little caps are popping off all the time. I've been just using silicone and sticking new ones on. That works ok, but now if I have to drill one out and replace it, I can do it. Thank you...
This was fantastic! I was working on my Scamp over the weekend and a few rivets popped out, too much jarring around I guess. I have never messed with rivets and had no idea what to do. Found this video and I feel like I can go around fixing them all now. Thank you! Also fellow Arizonean :D
This video is very good however the diameter of the hole has nothing to do with the length of the rivet needed. You keep using the word "diameter" while trying to determine the length of the rivet needed. They are two totally different things.
The rivet length needed does depend on rivet diameter. Here is a quote from the Arrow Fastener’s website “The length of the rivet should be equal to the thickness of both objects you are fastening, plus 1.5 times the diameter of the rivet's stem.”
This is one of the most complete "rivet" videos i have ever seen. You did a great job putting this video together.

Just want to thank you for a very informative video. I'm a new camper owner and the camper needs some TLC...

Nicely done.
Great job, thanks! Works for us Casita owners, too!
A bit loong for subject, but very nice job. Very clear examples and explanation. Butyl idea is great!
This video is amazing !
thank you, very clear explanation and helpful views of the process!
Fantastic video. Thanks
Excellent video, thank you very much for taking the time to make it.
I use a 1/8" drill bit on the small rivets and 3/16" on the larger rivets. I would drill out the hole larger than it was originally.
I meant to say I *wouldn't* drill out the holes any larger.
Rivets come in standard sizes..best way to size the drill bit is see what size rivet your using .
Use a dab of Marine 5200 behind the cap.
I would have installed a washer to back up that rivet. It will back out of the fiberglass in due time because of vibration while in transit.
Once you drill out the rivet, how do you get the part out that is still in the camper? I need to replace rivets on the outside of my scamp.
