Hi all,
I just purchased this 1969 Avion 28 ft trailer as a project to restore it. The bottom sheet metal panel has seperated at the front corner from the upper metal shell and I'd like to seal it somehow.
I was thinking of either finding a welder to do the job, but the problem is that the metal is very thin aluminum sheeting.
Or I was thinking of using this RV tape - Eternabond tape - http://a.co/74x9kft - from what I've seen most people use this for sealing leaky roofs, I haven't seen anyone us it for this purpose yet, but it seems similar enough, maybe?
Once it's sealed back into place, the material or method used for fixing it shouldn't be visible unless you go under the vehicle.
Can anyone give me tips or advice on this?
Thanks all!
