Here are some well needed instructions...
This came with no instructions so I had to learn all this on my own.You need to know that a window screen replacement tool will put this in place. Use the cupped wheel side of the tool.Once you do about four to six feet you should get the hang of it. The wheel groove sits on the edge of this stuff and maneuvers it in place. Rest you hand on the camper and don't go too deep with the wheel to avoid the screw heads. Run just into the track enough to clear the screw heads. Again, stabilize with your hand resting on the camper, tool at about 45 degrees, Maybe 1/8" in the groove. If you are deep and run over a screw head you will loose your bead and restart from there more shallow. When you get it just right this stuff goes in really fast. Be patient on first ten feet and you'll get it. Start on the right going left if you are right handed.It must be done on a warm day. I waited until late May 75F. It was too stiff on a cool 50F day I tried in April.Keep the old stuff and use it to measure off the bit you need from the big roll. Give yourself about 6 inches more because your original probably shrunk and you can trim when done. Start off with an inch or so extra because it can slide a bit rolling it in and is easy to trim. Don't be afraid to trim and leave 1/4" over because it will shrink again in a few months. I wish someone had told ME all this!! Good Luck!

Easy to use.
Easy to use. A little soap n water + warm weather =easy peasy. Tucked in one edge as I ran the plastic puttyknife or straight edge against the opposit edge applying pressure to push under the the ledge. The mist of soap and water over the entire strip made it a very simple application. It was so simple my husband was amazed by how fast I was able to completely replace the old trim on the camper we purchased. 2001 Nomad RoadRunner

HARD TO FLEX / DO NOT BUY
When I received this product I initially thought that it was old since the vinyl was hard and was very difficult to flex. After reading other posts about the Camco brand I discovered that this seems to be how it comes. Luckily I had also purchased the RV Designer brand which was very pliable and installed with no struggle at all. Save your sanity and go with RV Designer brand.

Worked perfect.
This item worked well to replace my old trim. It was a little cool outside and was somewhat stiff to fold enough to get into the trim molding. I used a heat gun to warm this up and make more pliable and worked great. This is somewhat thin, so you need to be careful heating it up as it warmed quick. It also cooled back down quick but it looks great now that it is in place. It did go on backwards from what I first thought it would fit, but once I turned it around, it fits and holds great.

Shrinks
Well if you like replacing this every 2 or 3 years its fine but it shrinks so there is a big gap between the ends and it looks BAD. Not sure the new stuff I got is any better but this stuff SHRINKS!

Too stiff to install
I don't recommend Camco brand trim insert. It is extremely stiff and nearly impossible to install, I instead bought another brand on amazon by rvdesigner and it is a soft maluable vinyl. Much easier to install. Install is a matter of a few minutes vs. what might have been hours with the camco brand.

Good value
The material seems a little bit cheap, but it was easy to install and is still looking good a couple months later. Would suggest putting it in the sun or into warm water for a short time before installing to make it more flexible.

AS good as new.
This is what is needed to replace the hard and cracking trim molding around your RV dependent on the size 1/2 or 3/4 inch. Over time this insert that covers molding screws gets sun baked and shatters, replace with this to make as good as new.

Not impressed
Very stiff to install. I put this around my trailer door last fall. It all popped out and cracked mid winter during a cold snap. Went to a local RV shop this spring and purchased RV designer insert trim which worked much better. I still have lots of this Camco trim left. Might be ok for straight stretches. Likely going to recycling. Dont advise using this stuff on corners or doors. Also make sure you are getting the correct gauge. You can purchase light, medium or heavy duty trim.

Difficult to install.
Seems to be a quality product (made in USA!) but is very difficult to install. This trim needs to be folded in half to insert it into the aluminum screw strip and the plastic is very rigid. I installed about 30' of it on my tent trailer and my hands were shot. I can't imagine installing it on a larger camper. I don't know if a softer product would last as long but it would be much easier to install.

Fits the small trim around storage doors etc.
Easy to install if you keep it soaking in some hot water while installing it. Replaces the old moldy trim and now the trailer looks new.

Poor Quality
The product is so poor in quality. It is like a very soft plastic material which easily comes off of the rv insert alluminum railling. I installed and cut a piece of it so i couldn't return it back otherwise i would have returned it for sure.for the money you pay it is a total waster. It even doesn't fit properly in the railling. Those parts which fits easily get off the rail with the high winds!

It worked
very hard compared to the old factory original. didnt like to bend around coroners, on some coroners it would just crimp and you would have to start over with a new piece. its ok, it will work.
