First, this is not intended to start a vinyl war. Let's not get into the pros and cons of vinyl or paint.
Does anyone have tips on the process specific to Vans RVs? Photos or videos would be great too.
The exterior skins of my bird are Alodined for some weightless protection under the vinyl.
You Tube videos are helpful, but they are mostly auto specific.
How have others applied the vinyl to their RV?
For example on the wings, did you apply a full 5' wide section to the wing with a seam somewhere around the leading edge? Or
Did you apply a section around the leading edge with the seams around the skin seam between leading edge/tank and aft skin? That seems like the best solution on wings. It does waste a bit but keeps the leading edge clean of seams.
The fuse seems logical to apply vinyl from the bottom aft moving forward but what have others done and why?
I know enough to apply the the vinyl to keep all seams from catching the wind and to keep water from running into a seam but some voices of experience would sure be nice.
Share please.
Sure would be nice to have a "Vinyl Wrap" forum. Hint! Hint!
