In With The New. New Plywood Deck. Installing a 50-Year RV Roof. Part 9
Starting the RV Roof Replacement on my truck camper. This is a 20 year old roof that needs replacement. I'm installing a 50-year RV roofing system that includes plywood deck, a 60mil Poly Sheet, sealing all edges with Eternabond type sealant tape and application of Crazy Seal RV Roof.

Im in the process of doing the same thing. So much more up and down work, time and money than expected. Looks like your doing a great job.

Looks great, what kind of plywood did you use and how thick?

@Dave-ld3dr 4 күн бұрын

Did you use the same size plywood as original?1/2” or 3/8”?

@cgdrider Жыл бұрын

I've used heavy duty epoxy for plastic repairs with good results and I have "melted" plastic back together with not as good results. Both work but the epoxy gives me closer to original shape.

Epoxy is great. I did the repair with plastic weld (JB Weld) and wood reinforced construction adhesive on the backside. It’s solid. I did some repairs on my kids plastic toys when they were little. I got pretty good at fixing cracks in their BigWheel trikes etc…

Looks great. Nice work. Did you consider putting a penetrating epoxy sealer on the plywood to help eliminate any future damage to the wood?

@covetthecamper2289 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I did consider that at first but ultimately the final roof coating that goes on after the poly sheet is the waterproofing. I didn’t need to add the extra weight, cost or extra work to achieve the desired result.

This is so helpful! What type of 60 mil poly did you use? You mentioned panels. Was it not on a roll?

Agree, great job. How long was the process, couple weeks or month? Take care and enjoy.

@covetthecamper2289 Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. I did this work in Late September/early October over a 10 day period. I could have done the work much more quickly but took longer with shooting videos and editing etc and I had two days away for work. I did the cabover/front cap rebuild in two days. Touch-up painting and odds/ends inside one more day. Some bad weather pushed me a bit quicker on a few days but it never rained on me during the repairs so that’s good.

Although I found the used unit I was looking for (2000 Fleetwood Elkhorn, no slide, side entrance, dry bath) it came with a mixed bag of prior repairs and needed repairs. I wasn't sure I could do them myself but thanks to you and others I've found here on youtube I feel like it's possible to do what needs to be done. Would it be possible to get estimates on materials for all this work in a video when your done? Thanks for all the hard work you do and especially in the work required to post these videos. Greatly appreciated!!

With Al Alicea, me and you, you've got 3 Elkhorn owners wanting to make their campers "new again"! I wonder how come there's no "Lance" guys on here?

@covetthecamper2289 Жыл бұрын

There’s some Lance folks on here I think. A few Alpenlite, Arctic Fox owners poking around too. Early 2000’s Arctic Fox campers had a lot of the same issues as our Fleetwood campers. Plenty of Lance campers in need of repair out there. I have a few Lance repair videos on here that I did during Covid. Lance campers were all wood framed until around 2006-2007. In 2009 they started using Azdel substrate instead of luan ply. Fun fact…. The company that owns Fleetwood (REV Group, Inc.) now owns Lance campers. Bought them in 2018.
