On our last trip the side of the camper base was damaged.

I am thinking of repairing the damage with diamond plating or something similar. just wondering if anyone has done this. Photos would be appreciated.

You can take a look at some pics where I cut mine out to fit over a gas tank. The cut out is near the end of my picture post.

You should be able to remove a section of that panel and check the framing for damage. Then box it back up. It doesn't look like that hard a fix to me.

Good luck.

Hi
just a bit curious how you damaged it ???-------I wouldn't use diamond -------I would use smooth ally and get it folded as big as possible, something like 2ft X 12'' X 12'' Or if you can, the full length of the side ???? about 2mm thick (sorry to mix metric and imp. !!!)--------diamond plate looks good and is tough, but it has a tendancy to catch if you dont allow plenty of clearance when putting camper on and off---IMHO-----I would screw and bond with Dicor or Sikaflex
