I picked up the camper today after getting the entire chassis and subframe resealed. Wheels, exhaust, subframe removed, chassis bead blasted
2 coats of gpls primer then 2 coats of black mastic on top. Looks a great job and photos of the work done at various stages. Not a cheap job, especially as a few other problems found as well. In the end I got the exhaust repaired and galvanized also the support bracket for radiator( not the correct name) bead blasted and galvanized. Likewise the wheels. Also got a new radiator installed as old one was pretty well knackered. A guarantee with all the work too.
€1200 for the chassis work for anyone curious of the cost. A lot of money but I have seen 40 foot artic trailers done with the same stuff, still rust free after 15 years, so I’m happy to pay for the peace of mind.
A word of warning though. You will have a layer of dust inside if they need to bead blast, even though he sealed and covered all windows and doors. I done the front and herself the back. Guess I got the handy end of that one. Anyone want any info on it, ask away.
