Sorry to beat a old topic to death but------- As you can see, I am a newbie here but I am excited about bringing my FWC as close to perfect as I can. I have a 1989 Grandby (Thanks for identifying my year and model Stan) that I am either considering replacing the vinyl all together or merely patching the front corners that need some attention. I have both pros and cons to either project and I am hoping someone might be able to give me a little guidance.
Patching the front corners- I read there is marine adhesive I can use which is readily available but where can I find the identical or comparable fabric for the patch work? Enough to wrap both corners would be perfect since I prefer it to look as good as possible and hopefully match as best it can be matched.
Total replacement from the factory- I would truly rather leave that job to the people who do it all the time but the logistics of getting it to CA from VA makes that option not very attractive. Driving 90 hours round trip and the cost of shipping each way makes it even worse. Is there anyone in the east who offers the vinyl and installation? If anyone has a better option then please let me know.
replacing it myself- Where is the best place to get the (as close to original as possible) replacement? I would like to keep the windows and the screens if at all possible.
