Protective Edge Strip for Spare Tire Cover


MAX Burner

Recommended Posts

After replacing the protective strip around the “dog house” LPG tank cover, I realized I ordered enough for the spare tire cover.  So after removing the cover when accessing the tire, I can place it flat on any surface without dinging the edge on sharp rocks or debris.  It may seal the compartment a bit better now also.

Nice job!
Here is a where you can ordered the edging off Amazon. 😊I used this on the edge of the dog house aka propane tank hood as well. And decided to use it on the fiberglass edges of the twin beds.

MAX Burner - Nice job, neat and tidy. I guess Oliver has to skip small visual detail improvements due to cost and the extra labor involved.

I protected my cover edges by wrapping the entire unit in stretch wrap, and storing it permanently on a garage shelf 😉

I love your shop floor.

Did you use any adhesive with this or just a friction fit?

You won’t need adhesive, this trim grips extremely well. No issues with it coming loose at all.

This type of edging has a spiral steel spring inside, no glue needed unless the material being edged is too thin.

How many linear feet did you use for the beds, dog house and spare tire cover?  I am guessing something like 30 feet.  Thanks.

Hi John,

It’s been awhile since I did this mod, I think I ordered 20 or 25’. I did not put this edging on the rear spare tire cover only the bed rail edges and dog house. It would seem that 30’ would get the job done.

Immediately got on Amazon and ordered it. I love this forum. In addition to helping me fix problems I have, it teaches me about problems I didn't even know I have. Yea!

Yeah, this plastic edging treatment is very useful.  Now that I've read Patriot's post, I wish I got more - I will anyway this stuff is cheap from Amazon.  Totally a friction fit, FYI.

Ollie On!

Patriot - just curious, what material are you using for the mattress vapor barrier?  We are looking for something that really works well, haven't been successful yet.

The product Oliver sells as an option is called Hypervent.  We've had it for 3 years and it's keep our mattresses dry from any condensation.

It's sold directly from HyperVent but you might be able to get it through Oliver Service.

Not cheap -  you'll need 14' to do 2 twin beds... ($189.00)

https://www.hyperventonline.com

Hypervent is only sold by phone. Call 206-783-1696 to Order.
Genuine Hypervent is $13.50 per linear foot.

I’ve been looking for something similar to this to put around the upper interior cabinets, I’ve gouged my fingers so many times on the fiberglass edge taking things in and out of the cabinets. 
I think this would be too thick for the doors to close??….. but I’m going to definitely grab some for around the bed rails, dog house and spare tire cover.

I ordered an initial 20 feet for the spare tire cover and only needed 13126165938_Screenshot2023-03-29at09_22_01.thumb.png.c40310c9b86165471df1626a01142cea.png feet for the job.  The "dog house" LPG cover edging was in good repair, so I actually had enough for that if it was necessary.  The bed edges (which is a brilliant idea on Patriot's part, IMHO) will take 12 feet to cover -  I've ordered 10 more feet from Amazon.  Hope that helps...

Good idea, Katjo!  I'm on travel now, when I get home this weekend, I'll check the cabinets to see if it might work there and let you know...

I don't know the exact type of tape that they use, but on fiberglass boats I've seen a cloth tape applied to the raw edges of fiberglass openings. It would need to have a substantial adhesive backing. I'm thinking possibly a fiberglass cloth tape. To find the right thing may be a trial and error process. 

Quick search found this. It's not cloth but is designed to hold up to moisture exposure and permanent use.

That’s a good idea. It does have to be thin like this so it might work. Thank you

KATJO:  See pic below.  The edge guard would totally work for your application.  The cabinet door closes without obstruction.image.thumb.jpeg.8622c19181e2738c6876bbf290b32da0.jpeg

You may need to heat up the edge guard material with a heathen to make it easier to go around the corners.  Good luck - post pix of your upgrade!

 

Cheers,

The protective tape Oliver uses around the pantry edges would be a good choice - haven't looked for it but I bet it's available on Amazon.
