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.

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

Mine has held up well, couldn’t be happier. I highly suggest running that tape all along top sides-edge as I did. 90% of roof issues I see is from the sides. As trailer flex’s in travel I’m assuming it’s rubbing the edges raw and cracks along that entire outer edge. The tape gives it extra thick layer

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.

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

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

If you’ve got an area of full sun to park it in. I’d get a pump sprayer and mix 2/3 water to 1/3 bleach. Spray on roof, give it couple hours and repeat. Then hose off roof with garden hose and sprayer. It’ll run down your camper sides, so you need to keep sides wet to prevent streaks. Then I’d do pump sprayer bleach deal 2-3x same and next day, then rinse again. Sounds like a lot of work but actually just spraying, no scrubbing. I avoid pressure washer because it can open pores or push water in areas you don’t want it. The cleaner the roof the better it will adhere. Good luck Gary. Let me know how it goes

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.

What product did you use on the roof sealant
@danemmerich6775 Жыл бұрын
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 question. It’s made to flex a little so I’d think road use it would hold up. If you do off roading it might be more questionable. If you have an ABC roofing and materials supplier nearby you can probably get similar product in 5 gallon. Lowes may also carry 5 gal just more expensive. ABC guys could tell you more about product and ability. Biggest thing is what it’s adhering to

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.

@@Christorment5 mine is also aluminum made in 1976 and the only leaks are where the end caps meet and one spot where the original furnace was removed and sloppily patched over. The rest is solid. Aluminum can corrode if weak acids are present so maybe something is damaging the aluminum itself.
