| Bellypan Questions for the Experts - Need Advice
Greetings All, I am replacing my bellypan and really appreciate all the solutions and knowledge offered in this forum. Quite helpful. I need a little help from the experts please. 1. I plan to use .025 roll aluminum 48" wide, snipped in sheets to the correct trailer width. I plan on joining the aluminum sheets together with rivets every 1" or so to make a continuous sheet from the tank cover to the rear bumper. What is the best way to make a bellypan seam while it is on my work table? 2) Anyone ever install vents in their bellypan? Critter proof ones of course. My insulation was quite wet, and yes rust is a problem. I'd like to vent the belly pan so it will stay dry. 3) I think I get quite a bit of rain water in my bellypan area from the rear bumper. I noticed the skins are not attached or sealed to the rear bumper. Seems to me rain water collects on the sewer hose storage compartment lid, and then runs under the bumper and into the "basement" (floor to bellypan).
I will need your help while I complete this belly pan replacement project. Thank you in advance.
