Thank you. 1000 videos on how to cover your roof. This is the only one with a follow-up.

I trust this good ole boy's practical and cost saving approach. I'm from a similar climate in southern Louisiana and appreciate common sense solutions to problems. Thanks taking the time to post.

Dave is right, this roof compound is truly amazing! I’ve used it on both of our class A’s. (2003 Fleetwood Storm and 2009 Fleetwood Bounder). Not only is it durable and holding up to the weather, it also helps keep the RV cooler by 20 degrees. This compound is elastic and soft, much like a rubber membrane. We’ve had it on our BOUNDER’s roof for 4 yrs so far. Roof and coating still looks good as day one.

Great that you did a follow up report, many just post and don’t ever revisit it!

... VERY -- VERY -- EDUCATIONAL ... YOU ARE A "NATURAL" TEACHER ... WISHING YOU THE "VERY BEST" IN ALL OF YOUR "RV-LIFE-TRAVELS" ...👍👍👍

Thanks for sharing. Certainly a better alternative than spending 10,000 for a new roof a RV repair shop quoted me. Yes, they really threw that figure out.

Eternabond is the tape ! Dicor sealant is the self leveling caulking in tubes. Glad to see your work holding up. I’m about to do some of the Eterna Bond tape on the edges and the main roof joint top front. I hope I get the same results. I may look into the coating you did next. Thanks

Got ya all subscribed Dave.. Ya got it right. I got an old 30 year motorhome. I put 3 gallons of that stuff on about 3 years ago and it worked great. It aint rocket science is it.. Just think like water. If nylon can keep water outta a tent then a half inch of finely applied rubber aught ta keep it out of da camper... have a good one...

Everybody is a critic and everyone things they know better and people are quick to be untrusting. I’d like to see some of these people get up off their asses and actually do something with their lives instead of talking shit on a KZfaq comment section. Good for you man. You’re killin’ it :)

Good video, I use Simple Green and a broom then rinse and for the nasty black stain or tree sap I damp a rag with Mineral Spirits or DENATURED Alcohol. I know you said 91% alcohol but is best to use it DENATURED and it won't harm/dry/toast the thin rubbery material. Works like a charm. Just wipe, not much pressure, nice, easy and gentle press to remove the nasty coat. It turns it white again and without harmful heat. I get it at Walmart but is everywhere.

Glad your roof coating held up, I see most You Tube channels are plagued with naysayers and critics. I'd ignore them if I were you because they like to know they've jerked your chain. Good video.

Flex seal works great too. Everyone told me no but through 2 washington coast winters and about 100" of rain annually, it works great and around the windows and other side joints

I can't wait to learn! Thank you for being there and screw people 🐂💩

We are in North Alabama too. Just got our rv and we'll be in it full time for the next 2 years give or take.

Good video. A little preventive maintenance can save big $$$ down the road. Here is an idea for a future video or 2. Would you consider developing checklists for what you do before a trip, after a trip, annual checkup and repairs, etc? I know that it would vary a bit from RV to RV and climate to climate but a general checklist would be helpful, especially for those new to RV's. Stay safe and have fun.

I've been using the 15 yr version, I clean and reseal every year , why because I live very close to the beach in Florida, and the sun is insane so the brighter the coating the cooler I stay. I don't mind doing it because with storms damage is common a fresh coat makes me feel better it's a no brainer for my 2004 rv

This was truly help me cuz I think I have a couple of leaks so I love watching a video cuz it really is helpful this is amazing thank you

Thanks for taking your time to help people with information.

I live in Alabama too. I feel your pain. 100 plus degrees inside my rv.

YES--I'm not the only one who swears by 91% alcohol!

Great video!!!! Thank you so much… going to give my roof some badly needed TLC now…

Glad that worked, nothing worse than a leak to ruin a camper. 😊👍

Hey Dave I spoke with you before about coating the roof and taping it . I did the job last weekend and all went well. Just wanted to tell you a few things. First thing, my roof is 28feet long so my area was a lot more than yours, so it really took all day after cleaning and preparing the roof doing the tape and all. The new name on the can of coating is Elasto-Kool 1000. I was able to find it at Ace Hardware, 3 gallons on the shelf. None of the Lowe’s stores had any in the store, only online ordering. Cost at Ace was $32 gallon. I remember you saying in the video that the coating was much thinner than you expected, however after stirring my stuff real good it was actually pretty thick, so maybe the formulation changed? Anyway it was easy to work with. I did 3 coats with 2 gallons and I have one left over. After the roof was completed I washed and polished the outside and washed the awning. We have not had any rain for a whole week so timing was perfect. Thanks for all your help. But I would like to ask you, what would you recommend for cleaning the roof with this new coating once fall gets here? Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again

Looks mighty dang fine to me Dave

For anyone who is trying to do repairs to your camper or RV in 2023 some of the cheapest places I have found for the Mach AC covers are camping world believe it or not. I managed to pick up all of my vents including my two tank vents and my two solar events as well as the cowling for my AC for less than $270. I'm going with a double coat and my RV is 31 ft long so I just picked up two 5g buckets sealer. That costs as much as the vents so you are prepared. Don't go with the cheap stuff but going with the most expensive stuff can also break the bank right now considering they are going for upwards to $350 a 5-gallon jug. I appreciate all the KZfaqrs who have put videos out. I know how to do it but it's nice to watch five or six people do it before I do it again so that I know I did not make any mistakes! It is also very refreshing to have five or six different opinions and ways to tackle a problem as well as someone could bring up problems that others did not think about. Good luck

Thanks Dave, for sharing your knowledge!! Appreciate your insight!! 💕

Nanaimo🇨🇦BC🇨🇦 gets 45"/yr! We are the west coast but people call it "The Wet Coast"😜😘😁😉 our Bobbie is an aluminum roof but we had our first leak!!!😢😭 it required a 1/4 turn on the nut to fix! It was where the water comes out of the hot water tank. If it leaks again, Brad Taylor (the builder) told us to replace the ring washer. Caught it in time, cleaned up a puddle of water. But this is bound to happen since it is a 2011 build. Brad says that everyday jiggling can loosen stuff. Dave: I'm still not over the snakes ya'll get there🥴😵😬🤣😂. AND the heat/humidity!!! I would have to turn on my oven and put a boiling pot of water in it and crawl inside to get that hot here!!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂😍🥰 Give your ❤Mom❤ a hello from us!!!😍❤👫

Sweet quads in the back ground noise

Great follow-up thanks be blessed and happy camping glad you didn't clean it for the half full people.

Yep you are right about N Bama I lived & worked i Marshal county ( Guntersville ) for 30 years one year in the early 90s not saying it rained for 30 days straight but it did rain each of the 30 days straight, not counting the summer it is normal to get noon down pour most every day, ROLL TIDE ROLL

I have to do mine soon, thanks Dave!

thanks for following up on this.

only a couple weeks it gets "close to" 100F here in ca. we get so much heat even at 2:am it can still be over 100F and i am talking a couple months worth of this heat. and at least 2-3 weeks of over 110 each day. but still not as bad as phoenix, az. not sure how many sunny days (depends on your location). but most of the year you get baked by the sun, yes even in the cold of winter.

Thanks Dave, I have a 30' 1998 Jayco and waited a bit too long to do this but will do it now to save the RV from this leaking "cancer", just have a few soft spots in ceiling but RV still worth saving and will do so now here in upstate NY. Its hard to find the source of roof leaks since water will run anywhere so might as well do the entire with the edge tape. Tx for the knowledge!

Good to see a follow-up video. Looks like the roof is holding up well. I used that tape on my roof edges too. I used the Eternabond Tape. Didn't know that Dicor makes that kind of tape.

Thank you straight to the point with a few good laughs

👍 Thanks for the 4-1-1!

Boy Dave you sure are giving a public service announcement on why not to move to N Alabama. 😂😂. Rain,heat and humidity. Good to see the roof held up.

Thanks Dave, very helpful! I have to get busy with the roof on our rig.

Thank you Dave!!! I’m about to do my roof!! 😊

awesome video. thanks for taking the time

Thank you buddy, you have inspired me to fix my own roof verses paying 5 grand for a new roof, when I only have one small leak.

Thank you Dave... I really need to figure out what kind of roof I got on my fifth wheel it's a lifestyle brand.... but thanks for sharing

thank, you for video

dave i like your character' as a ex executive for warner brothers i find you have potential for a acting carrer '''''keep it up.

Uber important for stick and tin construction ! 😉

Thank you. Just got an estimate back from rv store. I have a 24 foot safari trek. They wanted 13,000 dollars, maybe more if wood damage. Ugh.

It’s called internabond tape is what that is called on the sides of the camper

You're awesome! Had my interest in 30 sec

I haven’t watched the full video yet but I wonder about how it will perform in cold icy winters below zero and many feet of snow and humid summers . I can say I like how you have done this .

Thanks for the update.

Generally roof coatings do not work. However I'm glad to see in your case it has. I recommend just keeping the camper covered in general when it's not being used it will make it last significantly longer. I know they say don't use a tarp but if you pitch it the right way it will actually keep the whole roof dry and save the camper from any leaks

Thank you

Eternabond!! Stuff is amazing!

Good job

It's pretty accurate with the conspiracy talk❤😂

You're full of it... Just Joking lol. Thank you for this video. I'm going to do this in the near future. It's about $3k cheaper than Roof Armour and I can do it myself. Liked and subbed to support a fellow Youtubing RVer!

I heard the white flex seal tape works good to and the white flex seal RATHER WAY I've got to get it done

Dave I am glad to hear your roof has held up with this sealant. I saw your original video and went out and bought it to do my own camper. Then I saw some reviews saying that this product might not be good for RV use. Do you have a recent picture of your roof?

Well, we love him

I'd lap seal those solar panel mounts, that butyl is sticky but it loses its seal far faster than lap especially when it exposed to direct contact to water.

New Subscriber here! Going to need to re seal my camper roof. Thanks for your knowledge!

Man I love it! Great job!!

dont listen to the haters..they actually have nothing better to do

Worthy love likes and loves ❤🎉

I've got to do my rubber roof on my 03 50ft tandem AXLE JAYCO legacy 5th wheel rv.

Very nice informative video thank you. I got to fix my over cabin bed , do you have videos of that. Thanks

atta-boy DAVE!

Enjoyed the video good info. Wishing you safe travels.

for the commercial, they dont sell gas by the gallon in Norway.

Thanks Dave I'm on my own at 62 so try to find good repair guys there always trying to rip us women off... I've had my share and now I just watched videos go to Home Depot get what I have to buy and get the job done...i do it all myself and tell guys take a walk... I could do a better job than you 😜👍🏻and at a cheaper price 🖕

What I want to find is a good roofing treatment for climates with extreme temperature changes. Up here (ND) it can get to 110 above and 40 below. The "flex seal" variants do NOT hold up well in this environment.

Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏

I might look into the newer system. I installed my flexi panels w/o realizing til halfway thru that my roof wasn't meant to be walked on. I was being careful to stay on the joists, but slipped occasionally. I was momentarily aghast at the comment about using a silicopne based sealant on the black tank vent, but it didn't look as bad as I expected to see. What product did you use there? I've avoided using silicone in my RV roof sealing process because its problematic; in that nothing sticks to cured silicone, even silicone. There are many remnants of the previous owners attempts to "fix" leaks using silicone based products in my RV's roof and I find myself relieved when I have replaced then with another product I know I can then clean and enhance. As opposed to stripping and replacing. All that said, I used 3M products on my sailboat and I can swerar to the reliability of 3M 4200 and 5200 for the ability to waterproof ANYTHING.

Very helpful thanks 👍

Thanks Man.

Great video buddy I thought it was very informative

Whew.. Sweet. Thanks man cause I definitely can’t afford that RV Armor price.. THA K YOU

So can you put eternabond tape over silicone I wouldn't think it would stick so you put that on before the silicone right?

Cool Channel

I think what you're calling dicor is Eternabond along the edge of the roof. Doesn't Dicor make the lap sealant?

Cool stuff Dave

On & On Annon is holding a place for you.

Chuckle, I am from Forks, WA. Good old Twilight town. We measure rainfall in feet. It is not uncommon to get 10-14 feet of rain a year.

Would love to give the black jack a try but after reading the directions and what it can be used for I opted out and ordered Dicor. I did mine, not properly, 5 years ago with a EDPM liquid rubber that was not Dicor and said was with soap and pressure washer. I did that and now having separation issues. Now the company says you have to use a cleaner/primer so not going with them again. It is my understanding anything that is silicone in it will not work well with rubber and liquid rubber.

Can you apply that rubber roofing over blackjack

Did the coating help any with the inside temperature?

Not Dicor Tape on the edge ,but rather Eternabond.

What are all the names of the products used again please?😅

wonder if you can add the Dicor tape to the roof with silicone roofing after the roof was coated. instead of before the coating

Does home depot have similar stuff for the Rv roof?

What product did you use on the roof sealant

Thank you Dave. I am building a DIY Overlander Camper. I am trying to find out what to seal the roof and actually the walls with. Would you use this product to seal my entire camper to save some money? I don't have the money to ACM panel the walls, so that is why I was thinking of your product. Thoughts??

Great job! Nice info I just starting to fix my roof can you please direct me to your first Video couldn't find that Thank you

Blessings, update?

Sure that the tape is “Dicor”? Isn’t it Eternabond?

Hi Dave, I watched your video for the roof treatment you used from Lowes. Is it still holding up?

I wonder if Flex Seal would work as well ?

If they made them with aluminim like the old campers they wouldn't have those problems except for the end caps and I'm sure there's a way to fix that design flaw. That's designed obsolescence.

Good job, would be great if you added another re-coat for many more years too last
