Hi,

 I have just got an Eexport-matic. The ply on the floor and side of the fold out part is rotten. Can I get floor and side panels for this model or would I have to make them up from ply and styrofoam.

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.

Like poppi says they are obsolete

however i would be tempted to try and make panels you can get sheets of the dimpled aluminum from a firm that makes flight cases you would need to surf the internet to find them.

If the panel is too bad to use as a panel why not use the opposite panel as a template and turn it round so you get the right profile.

i should think that the most difficult part would be routing the tongue on the edge.

another solution to this could be to make up the panel without the tongue on it and rebate aluminum in its place

hope this is of help

Thank you Poppi (I have sent email) & John for your comments and suggestions. I have now brought another exportmatic very cheep with wheel arch damage, badly repaired with a modifidy washing-up bowl . Water got in when driving in the wet and the floor has gone on the trailer side. I'm just a bit worred about the age diffrence, as the first one I got (R1, now dismemberd) has a window above the sofa and strip lights and the one I have just brought (R2) has'nt got a window and what I can only describe as lights on sticks. I'm hoping it's just the interior that they changed. I'm going to start dismantaling  R2 tomorrow and compare roof, walls and floor with R1, take all the good bits and start the rebuild some time next week or the week after, (The beach is like a magnet) I'm also thinking of putting a window in the wardrobe/tolet area, the same as in the kitchen area as I have got one spare. If anyone is still reading and would like to know how things are progressing I will post an update and maybe some pic in a week or two depending on weather.
