We purchased a used 1996 Damon Challenger. It only has 11K miles, but is a bit of a DIY project. We paid a good price for the unit. Everything in great working order. Just needed updated interior and some some outside minor repairs with one exception. The Rear End Cap is gone. They put some type of board covering, but no trim. Needless to say this is not a permanent solution.

Oh...by the way, we have never owned an RV before but we are pretty extensive DIY homeowners. We thought this would be a nice project. All updates have been made on interior now we need to work on the rear.
Any suggestions. I have been looking through salvage places and online but no luck. Anyone have any suggestions or other fixes we could do?

making one out of plywood would be easy enough. We are thinking about painting the unit anyway. I have a friend that has offered to paint it for us. what about the trim....what would you recommend?

I really appreciate all the advice. Like I said we are really new to all this and have so many...what probably sound like stupid questions or at the very least we sound like people who should not be owning an RV but it we are so excited it was a dream/bucket list item we have always wanted. We are both teachers and off in the summer so it seemed like a perfect fit.
