Ripped Sheet Metal
A belated Thank You to the Welcome Wishes we received when we joined the MOC about a month ago. We recently purchased a 2002 3670RL and have now made two local trips in it.
Sadly to say on the second trip,the weekend of Nov. 10, we had a tire blow(driver side forwared tire)as we were headed to North Georgia. I know, I know purchasing a 2002 that probably still has the original tires screams tire replacement but we were so anxious to spend the weekend in it I check all the pressures and hit the road. Fortunate for us it blew on a four lane with a convienent pull off area to make the tire change. In the process of blowing and discharging the rubber pieces we had some sheet metal tear just in front of the front trailer tire and it blew off the plastic trim piece that mounts to the slide above the wheels. We walked back down the road hoping to find that piece but never did. A changed tire a little duct tape, positioning some trim metal back into place a tire purchase in the next city and back on the road. Now its time for a permanent repair on the sheet metal. Anyone had to have any sheet metal fixed or replaced. I am in need of suggestions please. I suppose I can order the plastic trim piece for above the tire from my local Montana dealer.
Thanks in advance
