How to Patch Holes in Plastic on a Travel Trailer
Holes in the plastic parts of your travel trailer could cause major damage if they're not fixed -- damage can include dry rot and mold. To seal up your travel trailer and keep it from suffering water damage on the inside, you can use a simple repair tape that sticks to the plastic parts of your trailer. This type of repair job works well for holes that are less than 6 inches in size.
