Bottom of my camper fell out

[RaPta]

I have a 2014 Raptor 410LEV. Purchased August 2013.

I have a leak by my tanks that caused the cardboard material that seals the underside to give. The thin aluminum brackets bent and other places the cardboard just ripped away from the bolts. It is a mess.

My concern is the underside of my camper is now exposed. There are wires/cords hanging very low. Is it reasonable to not feel comfortable moving the camper? I would be worried throwing some road debris up there and doing even more damage.

I plan to contact the dealer where I bought it and Keystone tomorrow. But I plan to request they come and get it. This will be my first experience dealing with the Keystone warranty…sure hope it lives up to its reputation.

RaPta -
By the "cardboard material that seals the underside" are you referring to the black, plastic "coroplast" that is covering the underside? It would be about 1/4" thick and fastened to the bottom with metal screws. I don't recall any "cardboard" being used to cover the underside of an RV.

If there is a large "hole" and you want to have it covered, you can go to Home Depot or some similar outlet and purchase a 4'x8' sheet of this material. It is called Coroplast and you might have seen it used by sign makers.

It can be cut to fit over the opening and taped, using Gorilla tape, to cover the hole on a temporary basis 'til you manage to get to the dealer.

If you can't find any coroplast, a piece of heavy gauge rolled plastic or a cheap tarp - cut to fit would do in a pinch - also attached using Gorilla tape.

Good luck with both the dealer and Keystone in resolving the leak and the damage caused by it. I hope your dealer will go to bat for you.

It is coroplast. Sorry referring to it as cardboard was a poor choice in words. I could not remember what that stuff was called.

Ill talk to Keystone tomorrow. I do not want to do anything myself until talking with them. With it still being very much under warranty, if it is not roadworthy I think they should come get it.
