I bought a suction cup puller at Harbor Freight and used it on several dents around a big crease on my lower rear corner segment. You need an air compressor to use it, but it pulled out one that looked worse than this. Its about $80. Worth a try. One of the two cups needs to fit inside the dent.

My curbside wrap is 40 inches from where it meets the side rear storage compartment to the bumper. I think the width is the same. I called Inland and the girl that I talked to didn't even know what a 32.5 was, After we got that straight she said she thought the wrap was about $475.00. That seems just a bit overpriced to my old mind.

I am just about finished with the outside still have to paint the spare tire cover. Have to order some 1.1/2 dark grey molding insert on Monday.

Shepherd,

Of the few pieces that I might have thought these things shared in common, the banana wraps would be among them.
The 370 banana wrap on Airstream Supply is priced at $199.00. Last time I spoke with them they seemed to know what was happening. I'd try giving them a call. See if they'll put a tape measure to it.

I have been walking around this like a cat with a 300 pound canary since we got the coach.So I just decided to jump in with some prodding from the wife.It turned out pretty good, There where a few detours along the way but everything worked out.

I am going to change out the front coil springs would it be possible to have them drop shipped to you and I could pick them up on my way to Sturgis in Aug.

I talked to them last early week they took My Number and said they check on it and call me haven't heard back

No I will still use the air bags on the front, I put new bags in when we got the coach. But the springs are pretty much wore out I think the air bags just add a bit of extra capacity lets face it these bread vans chassis are right their max

Yep. Ive read others who have put heavier duty springs in to try and eliminate the bags. I guess for one less maintenance item. I dont think I would do it, but thats just me. It was designed with bags soooo...I figure better keep it that way.
