I installed the full set of skid plates on my new Winnebago Revel. I thought that this would be much more complicated then it was. Mark H was super helpful in planning this out because I was concerned that the factory add on items would interfere with the installation. There were two issues, but they turned out to have fairly simple solutions. The quality and fit of the parts, the instructions, and the support were all absolutely great! For anyone with a Revel, Mark was a great help and he now has pictures and simple solutions to make the install easy. 100% satisfied!
I'm really impressed with the design of these skid plates which is very well thought out and provides great coverage on multiple sides. Installing them without lifting the vehicle turned out to be no problem for one person, with the help of a small jack to provide additional support while lifting them into place. The only tricky part was aligning the included bushing spacers vertically in the small space where the engine and transmission plates overlapped; too tight a space for fat fingers, but a stiff wire threaded through the hole and into the spacer made this step a breeze! The rest of the installation of the engine/transmission plate system was straightforward. Same for the gas tank skid plate. This plate matches the tank dimensions perfectly and provides a close-fitting wrap-around. A couple of the strap bolts were a bit tricky to re-torque once the hanging brackets are installed but a universal socket adapter made it possible to get up inside to get the proper torque. It's all there in the excellent set of instructions; as always, thorough, well-illustrated, and very clearly written!
