I just realized that I need to get two wheel wells. Does anyone know where to purchase these for use in a camper?

I made mine. Wasn't very hard. I bent the metal in a door frame.

I built mine out of wood, not hard at all. You can do it! :thumbsup: :R

Thanks, guys. That helps. I'll try using some wood. I'm far more intimidated by the metal.

Just make sure to seal them *very* well. If it's raining and you're travelling that's where all the water is going to go. ;)

I made them from 1/8" luan, formed over a barrel end, then glassed on the outside, removed from the barrel and glassed the inside, trimmed to fit and glassed in
