Hey look, another Keystone with a front cap replacement!
Unfortunately, any RV can do this. Routine maintenance is important and can prevent this water damage.
@@yourrvspecialists but ALL keystones. Took care of mine and it happened..pos
My 2011 Coachmen did this. What's the cost for this?
@@antcrow7424 same here. Did you get a price?
Thanks for the video
I have a trailer to the exact same thing. What kind of price can I expect the repair to be ?
Is there not a substrate the filon is a adheared too? I thought there was a fiber board backing.
I have also watched where 5mm luan was used as the substrate and epoxied to the filon before reinstalling. Please advise as I am about to make this repair in Ky. Thanks SDP
Should there be any flexing or dimpling of the cap when replaced?
Keystone Bullet with front cap problems. Seems like everyone I see has a problem.
😊
Two questions:
What size screws did you use to re attach the cap
What adhesive is best for the reattachment
The screw size typically 1-1/4” square drive no 2 Robinson. You can use self tap or standard screws.
The adhesive for the material or the sealants?
The sheeting adhesive red glue is T440
The caulking roof Dicor and the body normal boss 378
How much does this cost? Where are you located in California?
Very nice! What R-level insulation is that?
Thank you.
how much this fix cost?
Great Video. How much for the replacement? The trailer is the same size as the one in the video.
A front cap replacement typically runs around $5 - $6k. Not only do you want to solve for a new cap, but you want to solve the problem that caused the water damage - does the roof and/or body need to be resealed? Do you need new insert moldings? Are the clearance lights cracked? etc.
Did you folks put any backing behind the sheet of fiberglass ? What thickness is that sheet ? Great videos
See the filon is backed with a product called PWP and will not delaminate or dry rot. Not sure the thickness of the product in this video come in two sizes from the supplier.
It has a product called PWP adhered to the back side.
Where to get PWP PANELS ? What glue do you recommend? Thank you ! Im all the way in NY and no one
Wants to do this job 😢
Where can I purchase a new front cap for my 2015 Keystone Carbon M-31?
Hi Brent, your best bet is ask your local repair facility for their source. We purchase our front caps from All-Rite Custom Manufacturing. Freight and crate on a front cap is very expensive. The closer you can source it to you, the better!
@@yourrvspecialists okay. I’ll see what I can find. I’m In Dallas Fort Worth and there has to be something close.
I have the same Bullet Mines a 2014 - 204. My front cap is just starting to delam this year. How much dose it cost to have this done and replaced like the video showing?
Thanks for sharing the video.
Hi Steven,
Prices range, especially if there is additional damage to roof, side walls and floor. But a job like this will be in the $5k-$6k range.
@@yourrvspecialists Good to know thank you for the reply.
@@yourrvspecialists OOOF
@Peter Aguirre 300 bucks on amazon... lol. Dudes making 1k an hour.
@@JosephHoffee for real, this looks like it would take me a weekend to replace and thats really taking my time.
This video missed showing/explaining a lot of what would be helpful info. Did you guys replace the wood or not? It looked rotted and then looked like it was different wood seconds later. We know our wood is rotted and wondering how to replace it.
Thank you for the feedback. Capturing a project like this is quite the undertaking. You can only put in so much footage. But to answer your question, yes - the rotted wood was replaced with new.
I have no water damage. Can I just put the new skin over the old one? It would be stronger. Keystone Passport. Wind storm during the drive home.
where can you get the pwp panels in eastern washington state?
What does a job like this cost?
Prices on a job like this do range wildly. Not only is it replacing the front cap, but also fixing the source of water intrusion (roof, sidewalls, etc) so the same thing won’t happen to the new cap. Typically, this would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $5k when it’s all done.
did you use a backer on the new fiberglass? Was this roll filon?
Yes the filon is glued from the supplier with a product called PWP. It’s white in color and it will not get water damage or delaminate.
Who is the supplier? I need to order one for mine!
What type of adhesive did you use to attach filon to frame?
I think insta grab
Do you have a link to purchase just replacement cap sheet?
They will only ship in califorina, and you will need to get them the measurements for a quote. They also don’t sell to individual, I can send you there info if you email us. But they will want you to purchase it through whom your closed too.
We would not order and have it shipped to to you as well.
What kind of glue did you use to attach to the aluminum.
I believe it’s was insta grab safe for PWP backing plastic/foam safe. The backing of the cap material is no longer wood. It’s a plastic product that will not water damage. 🤞🏻 at least thats what they say. 😉
@@yourrvspecialists Bummer at least thats what they say.
Nice videos but may I suggest some better music. Thanks.
Thank you for your feedback.
You can't get much better than Moonlight Sonata...
How much for a repair like this ?
It’s really depends on each unit, most times water does damage the roof line, floor and side walls.
Due to shipping and products always fluctuating we can only provide pricing at time of repairs. Typically all units have been opened up and inspected for the extent of damages. All customers all given a low and rough high cost prior to starting.
Price????
I would like to know that too
A fix like this would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-$6k
@@yourrvspecialists Thats like a third of the value of the camper...😂
The way this is presented with music and no dialogue as to what exactly your doing and using for the repair is not helpful .
Try it again but tell us what your doing . 👎
This video was made a few years ago before many of our video editing upgrades. It was mainly made to showcase a project on the lot. I appreciate the feedback and will consider making an updated version for the next front cap replacement project.
