A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Ok I realize that this has been gone over before but I don't remember the information
and some of our new ones might enjoy the information
So can we rehash care of the roof...I personally don't think mine has ever been done resealed ect...Larry's back and knee's bothered him a lot
so I''m not sure he would crawl around up there and seal it if he did I hope he will forgive me for doubting him the other day
I realize that the molding that goes from the front to the back had a spot that was in bad shape and another that isn't looking good
It was recommended to me that Eternabond Tape would take care of the molding am hoping so anyway...any other ideas?
so could we have a discussion on the roof ect?
yes I know I should have thought of it sooner but to be honest I never have been up there never thought I even could...now I think I
can if I can get over the reluctance (read that fear) of climbing up there?

First, all areas with caulking around them on the roof need to be checked regularly for cracks. These are normally the first places leaks will occur. I have up on re caulking most of those areas on my old rig and used Eternabond. But then I called the edges of the Eternabond. Some say that's overkill. In the desert heat, I recommend you check at least every 6 months.

The roof itself should be cleaned and checked for any spots where it's wearing.

Yes, you can use Eternabond. It was a lifesaver for me on my old RV.

is it like a tape Beth?

Eternabond is a tape, yes. They make various kinds. Make sure you get the one that works for rv roofs.
