Yes it definately will bend! Call him if you have questions.

I did like the online pre-order, but it says if you want to call him, after 6:30PM only. Could that be RIGHT?

6:30PM? Pacific time yet?

It was real confusing, because you fill out an online form, and then you get a link to a HARD form to fill out and mail, which I doubt is necessary.

Well, I got plenty of time. I know he's great, and I'll figure it out.

Thanks for the replys. I have a couple of calls into the dealers to see if I can get them.

Mine is paid for with Grant--and he even called me at home last night.

WHAT A NICE GUY!!!

8 feet of the drip molding AND 8 feet of 1" tee molding, with shipping, 45 bucks. Can't complain about.

And a little info for anyone ordering with him:

The guy who used to do his website passed away not long ago, and there are a few kinks in his system:

You can order right online, select your payment option, and then he emails you a total with shipping. You then basically complete the order, and I used PayPal. BUT...

In the middle of all this, a PDF of a hard-copy form pops out, with instructions to mail it. You just ignore that.

I have good news, bad news, good news, and good news. The good news is that I just received my drip rails. Bad news, it looks like the box was folded in half in shipping, so are the rails. Good news, Go-Rv.com is shipping out new ones and I will have them tomorrow. Good news, They told me to keep the bent ones. I think I will be able to repair them and use them on my next project.

They came in and were undamaged. I had a chance to mount them. I also didn't wand the sharp edge right there at head height so I put car door edge molding on them. I had to heat the ends to get them to mold/bend around the end. I took some small spring clips on the ends for a day until the glue dryed.

That's a nice touch putting door edge moulding on them. Looks real good and it's safe too. :thumbsup: Danny
