Blowout
I had a tire let go last time out and it took out a 2'x3' section of floor liner and insulation. I went to my local RV shop and they didn't have a clue as to what I needed to replace the barrier with. With a little searching I came up with a low cost repair that is as good as new. I found Tyvak house wrap sold by the foot on eBay, it comes in 9' rolls and I bought a 3' piece delivered for about $9. I have enough left over for two more blowouts. I bought a roll of Tyvek tape, 2 1/2" wide and I had a piece of insulation left over from my remodel to put back in the empty spot. I cleaned the I Beam frame rail and used 3M spray adhesive around the perimeter and attached the cut to size Tyvek and put in place. After that I used the tape to seal the corners all the way around. Because Tyvek is white, I used some flat black Hi Temp Header Poof Can Spray Paint that I had laying around and now it looks like factory new again. Total cost about $20.

Re: Blowout
Sorry, I didn't think about until it was to late. The biggest part of the project was removing one tire so I could get enough room to work. A picture now would just look like stock. (Nothing to see here, move along)
I will see if I can get a pic or two when I get back from my hunting trip.
