Under pinning, cold weather package stuff
Ok, I went down to the camper a couple of days ago, just to kinda give it the once over. You know that black plastic sheeting stuff they use on the under side of the camper, for the "cold weather package"? Well there was a tear in one of the pieces. Looks like a strip, about 2 or 3 inches wide, and about 2 or 3 foot long. Anybody got any good ways to fix it. Other than just duct tape? Im looking for more of a "fixed for good" repair.

I saw a commercial the other day that that was a new product on a roll that made me think of this product and might be cheaper. Can't think of the name.
Might be a solution

Hi Barry,
I was looking at the bottom of my Hideout…27 DBS and was thinking it would be a good idea to put some Armor All on it… Anyhow I saw an Infomercial this morning for this tape. LOL they tape a boat together with it.
Have a Great Day!!

That underbelly material is called coroplast. Gorilla Tape has been recommended to tape the seems, stuff comes on a roll and can be purchased

Try Bear Bond. The NASCAR boys use it to hold race cars together and apparently it sticks to most anything. Watch a race some Sunday and you'll see. Available on Amazon.com

There are two types of material used on the underbelly. One is a "corrugated plastic" similar to "corrugated cardboard"... That is called COROPLAST. The other is a "plasticized woven tarp" material. If you think of the "blue woven plastic tarps" commonly seen in most "big box stores" it's a black version of that. It is most often used in the wheel wells on RV's, in the front storage compartment and often, on entry level trailers, used to cover the underbelly. It is called DARCO.
DARCO has a specialized repair tape. You can find it at any mobile home repair center. I haven't heard of any "after-market" repair tape (like Gorilla tape, etc) that will adhere well to DARCO, although there may be some products available.
I wouldn't use an "off product" for repairs to DARCO. Check with a mobile home repair center and get the correct product. Water on the wood in your wheelwells can cause a significant problem. That area really needs to be maintained properly.....
As for COROPLAST, if you clean the damaged part well, Gorilla tape will adhere "almost permanently" and is a very effective repair tape...

Dealer cut a L shape, maybe 1 ft each way in the corplast to repair a duct. They put a zip tie in each side to hold the cut part together. I ran gorilla tape across the whole seam 2 plus years ago. Just looked at it last week and still no tape coming off.

You could try some thing like this http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pro...b71fa_1000.jpg ,we use it on the Jobsite, construction supply stores ( Whitecap here in California) carry it 6-9-12-18-24-36 inch widths 50-75 foot rolls. I just bought a 24 inch x50 foot roll for a small roof for $55, Ithink a 6 inch roll is $20. Careful some brands are white some are black.
