Interesting, always a bit of archeology in these projects. I recall one
person who took the whole pan out, put fiberglass patching on the back
of the cracks of the pan, then spray coated the whole thing with epoxy
paint. The pictures looked nice, I kind of wonder how it all held up
while on the road. Chris Koehn relined the inside by putting in plastic
wall sheets that came down the inside of the pan right to the bottom,
that way covering up the difficult seam between the top of the pan and
the original walls. His walls were not sagging though. I disassembled
the entire joint, cleaned it up obsessively, and used a very fancy clear
caulk, not silicone, and riveted it all back together. I found enough of
the right aluminum extrusion trim to cover the seam and replaced the
slide-in, rivet covering trim. So far no leaks and the JB Weld patches
are holding and still look good.
What I wish I had done was to have raised the outside of the pan that
goes over the wheel well. It has sunk a little there and the water won't
drain.
And, with all the money in the world, I think I might have liked a whole
shower made of stainless steel with a nice teak duckboard on the bottom.
Dream on .
