Re: 1997 Rear fender well repair

I just finished mine. I used Henry's roof mastic to fill the hole and then had a local plastic company cut 1/4 inch x 2x2 foot pieces of abs. I then drilled 8 holes in the abs perimeter, purchased large head 1 inch screws, bought the extra hold liquid nails in tubes, sanded the adhesive side of abs, liberally smeared the adhesive on, screwed in place and blocked the abs while drying in the middle using a gallon paint can on top of the tire over night. Just make sure the coach isn't going to fall with the paint can under it. When dried I went back and sealed all the abs edges with the same adhesive and seems fine. I did have enough factory abs undamaged with a 2x2 piece to be able to screw into and hold it in place. If it happens again, I'll probably go to 1/8th abs because it is so much lighter that 1/4 inch but not as tough of course.
