So, we all like roof leaks, right? Well, I haven't seen any so just patched the roof to prevent seeing it.
Supposedly have to do this roughly every year, until replace it. More on replacing at a later point, just need to make sure no damage is done by the rain. Rain damage is not so welcome...
Step 1 - Gather Materials
|
Ammonia/water, roof sealant (in caulk tube), caulk gun, rag, and roofing "tape" |
- Cleaner (windex/ammonia/water in my case)
- Scrubby thingie/rag
- Rubber roof tape
- Special caulk for edges
- Caulk gun
Step 2 - Clean area
Used a clean rag, and ammonia/water combination, to clean area prior to laying patching tape down
|
Large spot by front AC Unit |
|
Seam at front of roof just past windshield area |
|
|
Small one on other side of front AC |
|
Different view by front AC |
Step 3 - Apply Tape after area is dry
Step 4 - Apply Caulk
After applying "caulk" using the caulk gun, spread it around.

Big spot on left side of Front AC |

Small spot on right side of Front AC |

Seam at front of RV Roof |
Final look after 24 hours.

Front seam, looks ok still sticky |

Large spot on left side of front AC |

Small on right side of front AC |
Can't wait till I can get to the step on replacing the roof.
That will be a great thing to do. Didn't get under the Air Conditioner
so that will probably bite me a bit later but overall am quite happy
with how it turned out. How the roof degrades is interesting a little to me, guess it's just like a regular house roof in that regards. Come on
Wofati...
