Duratain’s VC-4 Shielded Undercoating FAQ’s
Q: Q: I am buying a trailer, do I need really need undercoating?Yes! Manufacturers build lightweight towable RVs to match fuel efficient, environmentally friendly vehicle requirements. In order to do this various lightweight metals are necessary. From day one, this combination of dissimilar metals causes rust and corrosion to the trailer’s undercarriage. Duratain’s VC-4 Shielded Undercoating protects these metals from rust, corrosion and premature failure.
Q: Why is undercoat not installed by the manufacturer?Manufactures are often concerned with controlling costs to stay competitive. Since the underside of the RV is a “hidden” area, undercarriage protection is often overlooked. Duratain’s VC-4 Shielded Undercoating prevents some of the most common issues, like rust and corrosion, on the most hidden parts on a trailer.
Q: Is everything under my RV coated?No. Every RV is different, and Duratain’s skilled technicians know what to treat and just how to treat it! A good rule of thumb is if it moves or has heat, we don’t treat!
Q: Is there is a cost to reinstall Duratain’s VC-4 Shielded Undercoating if I have a manufacturer defect or warranty repair done to my RV?No! If your RV is repaired either under the warranty from the manufacturer or the dealership there is zero cost to reinstall at the dealership on ANY Duratain treated surface.
