Just a little patch?

Is there anywhere I can buy just a small piece of exterior skin to patch where we had to remove the water fill pipe? I just need a little piece about 6" x 6".

Send us a 8 x 10 SASE envelope with about 4 stamps on it and we will send you that metal, no charge.

Sure could, but it's going to look awful funny, but different, with all those 6" x 6" squares.

Then................ who can you get to help you, like really cheap, to buck those several thousand rivets.

I also figure about 3 or 4 cases of Vulkem would be in order as well.

Ah, but what a way to pass the time during the winter months at a campground, in Canada. :clap"

Maybe we could call it a round squarestream??

Andy

I like ovalstream. I could get a marketing agreement with the drink company. That way I could pay for all those rivets and vukem. LMAO

You'll need to talk to Nestle. Ovaltine was bought by Sandoz many years ago, which morphed into Novartis, which was sold to Nestle a few years ago.

cool!

VERY nice! You don't even have to send an SASE to Andy - we can all start saving our coke classic cans for you and you can cover the entire trailer with them.

Amazing what you can do with a silly idea, and 10 mins of headscratching with a Photo Program!
I got splinters in my fingers now!
