Yes, there is plenty of fiberglass work awaiting you with the finishing kit of your "all metal" RV. Cowling, wheel pants, gear leg fairings, canopy fairings, tail fairing, etc...

While this video does not excel for its Oscar winning performances, the amount of good information presented still makes it our favorite for the subject and well worth the money.
