peeling slide corners and cracked fender

We are new to this group and proud Landmark owners. currently full timing in our 2019 Newport. Just curious has anyone else experienced these issues shown in the photos? The paint is peeling on our slideout corner caps, also the fender is cracked and has paint peeling. if you have dealt with this what did you do to get this resolved?

Cracked fenders are pretty common. I've replaced mine a couple times. Order some from Heartland.

You should have a paint code label somewhere in your coach. Find it, buy some paint, prep the plastic corners, mask off the rest and repaint the corners.

Peace

On new fenders, put some JB Weld epoxy behind the screw holes. Spread it out flat to spread the load on the plastic. Also, make sure the fender support is connected so it doesn't flap wildly in the wind.

when you say buy paint did you purchase it to spray from a spray gun or was able to buy it in touch up cans? to repair these item are not very difficult except i do not have access to compressor and a spray gun.

I think you should be able to buy a rattle can using the paint code.

I put epoxy in the weak areas where the fenders attach years ago. However the cracks continued. I just fiberglassed the backs of the fenders adding extra layers of fabric at the holes. I sanded the plastic and cleaned with acetone before applying the resin and cloth.
Heartland only had white and black for my Big Country (at $120 each) so I decided to fix these again.
So far so good.

Our fenders have cracked at the screw holes. So when I reattached the fenders I put small washers from Lowes on each screw. This has the a larger foot print then just the screw heads
