Pop up camper roof repair.

Last year we bought a 1997 starcraft popup camper and have been fixing it up one diy project at a time. If you need to repair structural damage not just seal a roof eternabond seam tape is the product for you. It is labeled as a caulking sealant and is made by a company called dicor. The reason why the roof sealant is put on the rv roof is to stop water from entering your rv.

It is almost inevitable especially if you use it a lot or have had it for quite some time. We carry a large selection of original equipment hard to find roof and related hardware. Apply the goo to the cracks in your pop up roof. Automotive putty like bondo can be used to fill holes in a damaged roof.

We had minimal cracking in our abs roof. The material will dry very quickly so be sure to work as fast as possible. There is one type of sealant that works well for repair for all sorts of rv roof materials at the cost of around 10 dollars a tube on average. Before epdm and tpo metal was the material of choice for rv roofs.

After a lot of research though i realized that you could still repair that abs roof and in many cases the owners of the repaired coleman abs roofs were happier with the results than had they gone with a traditional pop up camper roof. Original coleman and fleetwood roofs and equipment. This weekend it was time to renew and reseal the roo. Once the putty hardens the surface can be tooled and painted to resemble the orange peel finish of many camper roofs.

Unfortunately the roof of the camper we bought was beyond repair and rotting away. There will be times your pop up camper roof needs repair due to cracks from small accidents or extreme weather conditions. When we purchased our 1993 pop up camper i knew there was water damage to the roof. Wipe up any spills or drips with an old rag so that the goo doesn t do.

I thought so too. We figured out how to fix it by removing all of the water damaged wood and then rebuilding the roof structure and reattaching the aluminum skin.
