Hey everyone,

Have a couple questions I wast hoping to have answered.

1.) The bottom of my trailer has that tarp like material on the bottom. In the front corner something must have rubbed up on it and it tore a small hole roughly 2" x 6 ". It exposed some wood 2x4 framing that holds that plastic box in the storage compartment. I was going to use some silcone to seal it all back up. I also want to do some general sealing around the rest of the trailer like the wheel well moldings, windows, doors, corners of the siding etc. Can I just use some clear exterior silicone to fix the bottom and do the sealing?

2.) My trailer has the 1141 lights, anyone know of some decent LEDS that you can buy of Amazon or Ebay to replace them?

RV Centers have Tape of the same type/kind of material. Tape the rip up. The tape will not come off. Home Depot and Lowes may have the same type of tapes.

(I don't like LED lights at all so I have no advice to give on those. I hate the bluish tint of some I have seen, and will not pay the high cost of LEDs)
