small leak

[outbackmac]

I have a 2011 5th wheel outback and noticed a small water damage in the rear of the coach. bottom of the wall near the floor, about 12x12. leak appears to be fixed. what options of repairs do i have? dealer wants 5500$ to replace the entire wall.

If you "KNOW" that the leak is repaired and there's no risk of additional water intrusion, if you don't want to pay the dealer $5500 to replace the rear wall, you can buy a sheet of 1/8" paneling that you find attractive (or at least tolerable) and cover the damage with wainscoting. Or, cut out the damaged section, repair it with luan and then cover the entire wall with an appealing wallpaper or vinyl wall covering....

Mac, your Outback is eight years old. I don't care what you do to it, it won't make the resale any higher. What John^^^^ said or turn your head the other way.
