There is a difference in vinyl insert trim. Please let me explain-
Everything I have written below is my personal opinion based upon many years of repairing/rebuilding/restoring travel trailers. I use, I have used, and I will continue to use Camco products. Not this one, tho. I replace a LOT of vinyl insert trim. I needed a roll ASAP to finish a camper (my 1000' spool ran out) so I added a 25' roll of Camco 25202 to a quick Amazon order because I DID NOT THINK IT THROUGH. Big mistake. There is a difference in vinyl insert trim. This Camco product is inexpensive but it is not worth the hassle. Camco 25202 is rock hard, slightly off white, and relatively inflexible across the width. The profile is also wrong for almost every roof edge molding. It isn't worth the struggle and sore fingers fighting this into the roof edge molding, and when you (eventually) get it installed there is an even chance that the screw heads this product is designed to cover will be visible (as bumps) through the insert trim, especially hex screws. Camco 25202 cracks easily in cold weather and yellows quickly in areas of the country with stronger sunlight (south Texas, for example). I have replaced Camco insert trim on campers out of south Texas that had yellowed so badly the insert trim looked burnt. I prefer JR Products 10121 White 100 foot Premium Vinyl Insert. The JR Products 10121 installs easily, covers pan head and hex screws without showing bumps, is brilliant white in side by side comparison with the Camco product (which has a slightly tannish hue), and according to my micrometer is almost twice as thick as the Camco product. I can "zip" the JR Products inset trim into the roof edge molding with my thumb as fast as I can move it along the molding rather than fighting the Camco trim every inch of the way. If I prefer the JP Products and dislike the Camco product why did I buy the Camco product? Because I got in a hurry, did not want to make the 90-mile round trip downtown to my distributor, and honestly, it has been so many years since I have used anything other than the JR Products trim I forgot what an incredible hassle the Camco product was.
