How to replace your RV or Motorhome roof EPDM or TPO

[@ericcaira7338]

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I kzbin.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

[@naldoaquino9085]

*Works so well **Fastly.Cool** that it only requires daytime operation until high temp and humidity are overnight. It is difficult to get to side filters, but back is easily accessible.*

I am an RV tech and do roofs all the time, takes me the better part of an 8 hour day and maybe an hour in the morning. It's really not a hard job unless you have severe water damage. However if you do it yourself you will save tons of money.

[@chawwrey91]

Roughly, how much might it cost to do it yourself?

[@davidwyby]

If it’s a day of labor, why do they charge $5k?

[@phillip9571]

I just received a quote for just a roof spray on application over existing roof for 34' and it was over 6k, this is worth it

[@z.d.davidson]

It is probably worth the trial and error following a tutorial by learning a new trade but you'll spend 30-40 hours of tedious, frustrating labor learning the ropes while trying to stay under 2k in materials in order to save ~4k vs paying a pro to do the whole thing for 6k.

[@phillip9571]

@@z.d.davidson stick to the piano then...

[@LIBERTY0RDEATH]

Thank you for this video. I was just quoted 14k to replace just the membrane on my roof the plywood and foam is all in perfect condition. They made it sound much more difficult than your video shows. I work professionally in the commercial construction industry so I am more than capable to do this and honestly I trust my work more than someone at a local dealer.

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

Awesome. Sounds like you're gonna save a bunch of money.

[@shawnmccormick6381]

They probably did have some hyped up sales pitch but everyone is basically paying for the high insurance. Asphalt shingles are more brutal to work with, especially since rubber is used on low pitches. Big rubber jobs can get fucked up if you're not focused. It sucks to pull back up, or spilling glue, etc. 14 grand for what size exactly? On a friggin' camper?!

[@051570orion]

I was just told yesterday that the roof on the camper we baught last year is going to need the roof done and he said we'd be looking at probably $10k to replace it , I said I ain't Daddy Warbucks .. lol so here I am checking out videos because I know I can do the work , just need to educate myself first .👍

If you do it right, it’s A LOT of work especially on 5th wheels campers. I’m a service tech at an RV dealer.

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

Excellent work dude. It's always great seeing guys and gals taking their time and doing everything correctly. No cutting corners or making modifications to the product, process, or installation. There are so many out there filming their shoddy work and uploading it as the "best way" to complete the project because "the way they say to do it isn't necessary and takes too long. Not only can save money to buy beer with, but you'll save a lot of time to drink your beer with if you just use this or do it this way....... ". A few years later those types of people are dealing with a failed roof and extensive water damage. Again, great work man. Thank you for uploading. Cheers!

This is one of the best roof replacement vids that I have seen. Quick, yet very thorough. My overhead cab was rebuilt by an RV repair shop. But they did NOT replace the decking under it! Which sucks.

Great video... Great work... ... I have to tell you a story only you would appreciate... I have flipped RVs, Travel Trailers for years... I found this dinky like travel trailer... and the owners said there were "LEAKS" in the roof... when I walked inside I SAW all these NAILS sticking through the ceiling!!! I asked why there were dozens (yes I said dozens) of nails sticking through the ceiling. They said, "because there were leaks and we NAILED plywood (inside) to make it stop!"... I felt so sorry for them... I got a good price on the tiny trailer and had to completely redo do the roof... So I know how hard this is... but so necessary ... Thank you for sharing your video. Great job.

[@terrywayneHamilton]

Excellent, now you need a roof , that is the only thing that preserves the RV when parked . My 1984 is still running strong and that's stronger than me at 72. SUN is the big problem then rain . Keep up the good work and keep your helper happy.

Great Job! One suggestion for anyone doing this in the future; go ahead an Eternabond the front and rear caps as well as the vents. That will provide the extra bit of protection from water intrusion and Eternabond tape last much longer then the tube sealant.

[@JohnNguyen-iw8qn]

Have fun removing it when the eternabond fails on the edges and don't tear or melt the roof when you gotta remove it! 😂

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

[@ffjsb]

Instead of using roofing screws on the side termination bars, I'd use longer pan head screws like you used to screw the roofing to the edges of the vent openings. You can get the rubber washers separate to add to those pan head screws. You'll have a smoother line, and less wind noise. I'd also put a tiny dab of sealant on the screw threads as I installed them

[@beauprephilip]

Great video! I’m in sales at a RV dealership and I wanted to know a little better how the process of replacing a roof works and this video was extremely helpful!

[@michaelledford4751]

This guy either installs roofs for a living or he's the best handyman I've ever seen ,my guess is that he's a roofer because no handyman would know about using a punch to stop tearing at penetrations ,you did a nice job man ,on my 5th wheel I installed 60 mil fleece backed fully adhered Trocal PVC roof , i got lucky on my deck having no rott so i chose a 1/4 OSB and glued it to the existing deck using yellow glue on the deck amd the bottom of the new deck because i didnt want fasteners on my deck ,i taped my seams as well ,I chose PVC over rubber or TPO so I could heat weld the roof to the edge metal I custom bent into a one piece drip edge/gutter channel, I also made 8 inch high roof curbs for my vents and A.C. units that I wrapped with PVC coated metal so I could heat weld the roof sheet to the curbs and be water tight without any flashing ,I used Tech 5 fasteners for my gutter channel that have rubber washers ,once tight I covered every fastener with a blob of white Vulkem polyurethane caulking and tooled it in , I have 4 slide outs I waterproofer using White Firestone 60 mil EPDM that worked out well too .

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

Thanks man. Lets just say I'm definitely not a "roofer" but that being said I also installed a metal roof on my house. I have the footage maybe some day I will make a how to video with it. Sounds like you did an amazing job with your roof as well!

[@-ultravic661]

This Lottes TPO roofing material and install appears to be of the best i've seen on youtube. Also, you're the only one I've seen install that Dicor stuff sparingly. I like sparingly. But, I don't trust that Dicor stuff to last. I think the one thing I would do is apply Eternabond tape stuff to all the edges. Maybe in a couple years you'll apply the Eternabond, right over what you have now. You won't have to remove the Dicor because you applied it thin. Note, I've never done an RV roof. . . Just my two shingles....

[@corybraman2747]

Great video!! I also decided I can do this because of this video. This guy had more work to do than I did! That said, this is still a long ass job! Its all labor. The local rv service center told me $3-5000.00 for a 35ft rv. Depending on what they find under the old rubber. $515 for a kit. I'll probably end spending $8-900 with all the new stainless screws and new moldings/trim. Again,awesome video and thank you so much for making it!

[@patriots5628]

I think I've spent so far about $1,200 and I'll probably end up spending about the $1,500 to replace the entire roof on my 33-footer eternal blonde tape screws new vents and adding an antenna for the stereo which could be important and a small little roof vent with a fan on it just for the kitchen it's not one of those 14-in square vents it's a small round one that actually takes the humidity and the smoke out of your kitchen it looks like the vents for the water tanks but it has a fan in the middle which is pretty cool. anyway I hope it all went well and if you have any advice for me I'd appreciate it I'm still trying to find an underlayment for the front phylon fiberglass that I have removed in order to repair the front.

Tar will not work well and has solvent in it which will melt/damage any existing tpo or tpu roof much more.

[@aaronbothe5137]

Excellent video! If I could give a couple additional tips, I would roll out the roofing material and let it relax for a couple hours to smooth out the creases before glueing. The Eternabond tape is fanatic if not overkill. Duct tape or gorilla tape works also. If you must use roofing screws, cover them with lap sealant anyway. If you make a series of videos being more specific on each phase, that would be extremely helpful for a newby. Nice job! That roof will last many years if maintained.

As a 40 year waterproofing expert I would say this is a pretty good video, something to consider, using flat head screws to secure the flanges of the roof equipment and a second layer of termination seam tape over the flashing flange would enhance the waterproofing long term, effectiveness of caulking is limited.

RV Roof replacement is very costly but with Liquid RV Roof you can easily restore your aging RV Roof without no worries at all. Liquid RV Roof is a liquefied version of a synthetic rubber typically referred to as EPDM. Liquid EPDM can go where the sheet version could never effectively coat. Liquid RV Roof is a one coat system for your RV which results in savings in terms of labor and material costs. The final cured properties of Liquid RV Roof are not damaged by adverse conditions.

[@z.d.davidson]

if the plywood and particleboard is f'ed underneath though, you still have to replace that, liquid epdm won't help with structurally compromised roofing layers.

Man, really well done video. I love your pacing and narration. You got skills!

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

This is a fantastic video ! ! ! It could have been titled the anatomy of an RV roof, because it explains it all. My only suggestion is to put sealant on the threads of all screws, so that they seal to every layer on the way in. I can see saving a lot buying an RV that is cheap because it is in need of a roof and putting one on myself.

You did a better job than the factory did. Nice video.

Jim Bo thank you

I've taken to adding a 1/4 inch plywood over the whole top rather than stripping off the old wood. Make sure its dry before laying the new surface of plywood. You end up with 1/2 inch of plywood that I've found to fit well using existing trim.

This video was extremely helpful thank you for taking the time to make it and put it up! I just recently purchased a travel trailer to full time live in and when we got to the roof found a huge half done patch that LEAKS. Dang it lol. But I feel more confident now about it! Thanks!!

257 steps later... holy crap! THIS guy has patience! (or a lot of time on his hands - or BOTH!)

We used a very similar roofing system on our commercial property with a flat roof. In our case, keeping careless contractors from puncturing the roof was our biggest problem. Second was making sure the seams were properly heat welded by the installing contractor. A system like what you installed , if done correctly, can easily last 20 years.

Most materials used on flat roofs have a 30 year max life span if done right

I just got a 1993 Gulfstream ultra rv. It seems that everything needs some kind of work. This is probably the best video I have ever seen. You left me with no questions really. Like everyone else, I am dreading the roof repair needed on my rv. You made it look simple and easy. (I know it is anything but easy.) Anyway, thanks for the info. and definitely rv porn music.. awesome!

Thanks for watching

[@libertyss35]

This video was very well made and I really appreciate it. I look forward to watching more of your content. I would have never considered doing this roof replacement, but this video makes me think I can do it. Thank you!

Beautiful work!!! White Rustoleum paint on termination bars and side bars would have been nice.

[@SomeOne-vy5gv]

Wow, you and your wife did an amazing job bro!

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

Thanks

[@rogersimmie4621]

Excellent video my friend...lm an old retired contractor...have a 23' flair& lm doing my complete roof as you...thanks for heads up!!!😎👍

[@wkdemers]

Looks like a lot of work, I imagine you would want to have at least a week worth of sun in the forecast! Great video!

[@detumaki]

wkdemers Maybe on your first go. A roof that small is a 1 guy, >1 day job. He's taking it super slow for the video.

[@Tcchamp5877]

Beautiful job and great tutorial video. I have a older Class C that surprisingly has a decent looking roof with no soft spots and no leaks, as if yet..But I know it’s coming and will replace it before it is a problem. I’ll use your vid as a guide..

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

Thank you

[@jgardner7804]

Thank you for creating and sharing your experience replacing a RV roof and your background in construction to give validation to your installation and use of products. How is your new roof holding up since install? Thank you J Gardner

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

It's still holding up great.
