RV Underbelly Hole Repair

After having to cut into my Corrugated Underbelly of my 5th Wheel, I needed a way to repair the hole. Instead of just taping the hole shut I came up with this Solution.
TOOLS NEEDED:
-7/16" or 11mm Nut Driver or Socket and Wrench
-Silver Sharpie
-Soldering Iron
-Scissors or Razor Knife

    Wow that is a great belly board- mine is more like a woven plastic fabric. I like this better.

    That's one way to do it. I would suggest just cleaning the perimeter of the cuts with rubbing alcohol and using Dicor tape or Flexseal tape. Both will easily hold up without using additional hardware. If you want extra hold, you could always use adhesive caulking and or semi-permanent hot glue. Toodles.

    Hi! Is there any chance to purchase the brackets from you? I don't have a 3d 🖨.

    We had a red squirrel (family?) get into the underbelly of our old camper, there were so many pine cones in there, the underbelly was sagging. I cut multiple holes (access hatches similar to this) to remove them. To close the unit back up, I placed the lightest deck boards I could find inside, overlapping the seam and screwed up into them and then sealed it with rubber roof tape to keep moisture out.

    You can make the bracket iut of plexiglass. Drill straight holes for the outer part and tap the holes for the inner part

    Nice fix... however, when you put the bolts in on the door flap, how did you work the nut when sealing it up? Or did you tap your 3D printed brackets so the bolt just went on in? I'm a little lost at this step.
