The plate is fine, it does its job. It is not difficult to install except it is too small. I had to stretch the side walls with a hydraulic jack by 10mm, 5mm per side roughly. Then it fit snuggly. When installing on a plastic tank you don't want it to scrape the sides. Attention to detail. Also some holes along the side walls would facilitate additional plates for gear between the tank and the side of the van. It could also be lighter. It's on a tank as an entire sheet so doesn't need to be so thick and heavy. For $450 its a deal...$800 not so much...$$$$$ Great service from the Van supplier I trust.
The install on a 2019 Revel sucks. It can be done, you guys should design a few brackets different to support that vehicle.
The product after finally getting it installed is a great addition, also I have the full engine and drive train set of skid plates, they are great as well and install is challenging but not a problem.
The passenger side of the Revel needs a skid plate for the RV parts on that side, I would buy it for sure. The grey water/black water needs a rock slider or slide plate as well, when will that be available?
Hi William, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the Revels can be a bit tricky due to the location of the additional tanks. Glad you were able to make these work on your van, we appreciate your support!
