- Thanks for an incredible 2023!! And Happy 2024!!
I just wanted to share a quick repair(upgrade?) I have been wanting to do on my 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder since I bought it. And the other mirror finish is bubbling too.
The chrome on the power Velvac side mirrors is peeling and rather than fuss with expensive replacement or crazy amount of paint work, I decided to just try something quick cheap and easy.
Pretty much this was all in real time. Likely if I wasn't filming I could have installed without wetting the surfaces but I cannot be happier with the results and I'll track and see how the repair holds up over time
Thanks for watching!
12" wide x 60 " long chrome vinyl wrap: amzn.to/41CMA1q

And ... That's a wrap !!
Ha❤❤
Smart! Occam's Razor, put simply, states: “the simplest solution is almost always the best."
Looks great, no one who doesn't know the whole story will never know.
Should have gone to the local truck stop and gotten a pair of those mud flap girl silhouettes stickers and slapped them on.
💡Brilliant!!!!!!💡 Practical!!! Effective! 🤓 I Like It! Love your ingenuity and resourcefulness! Another Win James! Nicely Done! 🤔I didn't know about the water + soap method to reposition sticky surfaces! Thanks for the Pro Tip!!!😎~Big C in the DP 📢 ::: Air Horn 📢 ::: ::: Air Breaks! ::: 🚌🚌🚌
Looks great to me. Happy New Year James. I hope 2024 treats you well.
Thanks, you too!
I was waiting for the big bandaids.
many dollars saved. AND it looks great
Thanks... looks good. Alternatively, you might have applied the beaver to an oval of the wrap material. Have a good year...
Genius, absolutely genius! Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year! Thank you James for sharing & bring us a year-full of RV maintenance, inspections, upgrades and knowledge! Cheers to 2024! 🥂🍾🎉
I'm about to purchase a 2002 Beaver Thunder Patriot 455 Princeton floorplan on Tuesday so you and I are about to become best friends whether you like it or not 🤣
Very cool trick using water and dish soap. Looks pretty good to me! Thanks for sharing!
Your right, looks awesome from the curb, as my late dad say
Great idea James. Waiting for more. The wind shield wiper covers are a great idea also. I have never seen those before.
Glad you like them!
It looks good. Replacing a square once it gets damaged is better than removing a complete wrap.
I was thinking to use the SAME thing! ☺ Greetings James From the U.K. 🇬🇧
Looks great, I think the Beaver outline decal looks Awesome.
Nice tip with distilled water and a drop of dish detergent. Didn't know about that. Thanks James! Motorcoach looks great!
100K subscriber mark coming soon! Keep up the great videos!
Looks good from where I am sitting.
See you next year James.
That's simple and brilliant. Simply brilliant.
That actually looks pretty good. 👍
She looks great from the Boardwalk !!!
What a great, easy, and affordable fix for such a common problem! Thank you sir!
Glad to help
Great job, James. It looks great.
Wow...surprisingly simple and effective!!!!
Looks great! Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year 🎊
Great idea James, quick, easy, and frugal. It looks better than new with the gold emblems. My first thought was leave the backing on after cutting to size, tape it in position on the bottom and slowly/carefully peel and squeegee from the top. The wet method probably worked better and is easier, I've had trouble with it before but I might have had too much soap on those occasions. 👍
I have been watching your show for a while and I enjoy your common approach to rv life’s little problems. I will continue watching in 2024 Happy New Year James.
One cannot resist the attraction of a clean Beaver with chrome accents 😊
You always give us good ideas 😂
Nice Beaver! Great upgrade James! Happy trails!
As always, awesome job!! If something comes up like this again, my daughter would surely cut on our Silhoutte vinyl cutter if you have the time to send it to WV.
Thanks for the idea. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Looking forward to your videos on 2024. 🙏
James, you way under estimate the value of your vids. This might be an incredibly simple fix/repair, but a solution not everyone has thought of to use for themselves. Not all repairs have to be complicated and difficult to do. Sometimes it's just getting an idea what to do, and how it will turn out. This is one of those, and it's much appreciated!!
Great job .. I wrap a piece of thin felt on one edge of the body putty squeegee instead of electrical tape...working from the center out for air bubbles... minimizes sticking to your wrap .😊😊😊
Very clever 🤩⭐️🦫
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful idea. Now if I can find a vinyl wrapper that can do my ugly 2000's Winnebago Journey mirrors that I always wanted in chrome.
For a quick fix it looks really good, not even noticeable that it's a coverup. I hope you have a happy New Year and a prosperous 2024!
Thanks for sharing! Will come in handy for future projects!
Great job James, thanks for walking us through it and I hope you keep up the great quality videos throughout 2024 and have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Awesome! 💪
Another great job and it looks wonderful !!!🎉
Totally awesome!
Great fix James! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Mirrors look awesome! Wishing you healthy and happy new year

Happy New year James I look forward to seeing you too next year. Be safe and have a great holiday.
Great idea
Happy New Year to you and your family, Sir!
The simple little fixes are often the best. Love your videos, you Rock James
Happy New Year James and Family! The fix looked great!
Looks good thanks for the education your helpful tips.
Great job 👍
Great Idea. I have the same damage on a new to me Phaeton mirror and will do the same. I don't know why I didn't think of it. I did have clear peeling on my front and rear cap so $165 worth of vinyl and few hours labor I save about $2600 to paint booth.
Perfect NO but from the ground you can't tell. Thanks James
Great idea and good job!
Thanks For all the Information; Priceless;

Nice
Good job. Looks good to me. Happy New Year to you and yours.
that turned out nice
Great idea, James! But I still have to remove the clear film from the front before I tackle the mirrors...
I asked you a while back about where I might find something to put on the curved aluminum extrusions on the bottom of our bay doors on our 2003 Newmar Dutch Star DP to look like yours(chromed or polished stainless) and I think this would look really good, don't know how long it will last but I like the look of yours and the newer Newmars that have than shinny rolled edge on the bay doors. Thanks for posting James. I figured out how to disassemble our bay doors that had some delamination between the filon painted outer skin and the styrofoam core and saved 800.00 for the door plus the paint to paint it, as the original paint looked almost perfect.
Happy New Year! Thanks for this! You now have me thinking of ways to use this trick!
Awesome James Happy New Year to you and your family and a big thank you for all you teach us through your sharing .
A very nice and simple fix. Good work
Looks great! May have to add the decals to our mirrors.
Looks great James ! Good for 100k miles, see you next year, Happy New Year!
Great job James. Looks factory to me. Great video.
