      It's cosmetic damage - the repair makes it watertight - there was no damage to the frame, so what's the big deal with this repair? This video will be available to any potential purchaser, and they can make an informed decision. This will be a good deal for somebody as all campers are crap anyway. I wouldn't be scared of it.

  • @generationscomputersystems

    To be honest, it's a quick repair for a small collision damage. Some will say it's not 100%. Chances are, the patch would most probably hold up for a good amount of time. It's definitely better than what it was. I'm just surprised you didn't attempt to straighten out the bumper at the end.

    Ya kno, I don't generally as a rule do comments as I get each person does things the way they best see fit!! As a craftsmen and one who takes more then just a fair amount of pride in my work and ability when I see what I feel is a Frankenstein job, sorry my friend I am gonna call em as I see em!! Yes you feel you did a good job however anyone who knows anything about rv's will surely know u el-cheapoed and butchered this repair!! Perfect example is in that u didn't even attempt to remove the stripe behind ur diamond plate or match the tan paint...oh and robbing the strip from the rv in the yard...I mean c'mon, how lazy can one get!! I also know u got this rig at a bargain basement price and I'm sure u didn't have a wish to sink too much into a repair...but...my friend u show us in ur videos and tell us to do things rite yet we just witnessed u cut corners huge!! So now I wonder what happens when the You Tube camera ain't rollin!! Granted u may have had a bit more then the few hundred bucks u did have into this repair but u could have gotten it for not much more then that!! Lets be clear tho..I get it..the idea is to not spend a small fortune on repairs...but by the same token..if ur gonna show and be a mentor to others...do it rite man..become the Holme's of homes..jus sayin!!!!!!!
