[@terrycarlson568]

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks. Glad you like it Terry.

Great video! Have 2 hail holes from baseball size hail i have to fix on my jayco. This is exactly what I needed to see

[@garyhartle7533]

Cut a circle for a patch then nothing will lift after you roll it out. Also dont use sheet rock coarse screws. Use stainless steel

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks Gary. All good ideas

[@virginiareeder9961]

Pro patch...

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks. We try

[@user-ki5hp1ng4n]

my satellite dish hole has been repaired with a metal plate, are there negatives?

[@agent8699]

How big of a hole can be patched this way.

[@hillbillyrv]

I have done 3-4 feet before.

[@thinkford]

Then ad a solar panel on top of that for even more protection!

[@hillbillyrv]

Oh yes. Put even more holes in the roof.

[@thinkford]

@@hillbillyrv Was thinking flex solar with tape and sealant

[@robertthompson6958]

Generous of you to give a shout out to AZ rv repair. I’ve watched many of his roof replacement videos. Wouldn’t insurance authorize the full replacement of this roof? Two thumbs up. Enjoy your channel.

[@hillbillyrv]

They did. The customer got a NICE fat check, but opted to patch it. That is their decision. I just do what they pay me to do. Thanks Robert

[@rayraycthree5784]

I would cut the patch first then trace it on the roof. Cutting the eternabond patch corners round would seem to reduce possibility of corner pulling up

[@hillbillyrv]

Good ideas.

[@donklaing]

You just left the Eterna bond backing on your first patch? Then applied the final patch over a dirty surface. You will be re-visiting this job soon.

[@hillbillyrv]

I have learned a lot in the 3 years since this video was shot. By the way, I never heard from them, so it must still be ok, 3 years later.

[@thehomesteadpastor1234]

Man. Nice. I’m Loving this channel. Probably one of my favorites. Great Job.

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks so much Trey

[@marcuscarmouche9023]

I agree well put together channel keep up the good work as an rv tech myself I like watching other’s troubleshoot and figure out problems

[@hillbillyrv]

@@marcuscarmouche9023 Thanks Marcus. That means a lot to me.

[@marcuscarmouche9023]

@@hillbillyrv your welcome well deserved

[@covetthecamper2289]

Gets the job done. One step further would be to go over the edges of the Eternabond patch with self leveling sealant. Either way, a good repair.

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks

[@AustinMccathern-i6u]

Looks like ita work thanks for video and advice

[@hillbillyrv]

It must have worked. This was 3 years ago and I haven't heard from them.

[@howardsternssmicrophone9332]

I have a talking dog. I asked my dog "What's on the top of a house?" and he answered "Roof!". Then I asked him "How does sandpaper feel?", and he said "Ruff". No joke.

[@hillbillyrv]

Wow !!! You should take that show on the road.

[@donjackson2129]

You need to be using a flat square and a multi tool there could be wires underneath of that

[@hillbillyrv]

Sometimes you just have to live dangerous.

[@markevans3589]

I'd have cleaned that roof more, but it was a good repair and video! 👍

[@hillbillyrv]

It's hard to clean off years of tree sap.

[@richsmith9063]

You're supposed to make the Brake Clean sound when the can is shown ....

[@hillbillyrv]

[@laundrymanadams6105]

I guess it did not go all the way through, I see you and I have the same issue with shacking hands, stops me from painting as I put more on the trim work then walls. Good video my friend

[@hillbillyrv]

It sure didn't. It didn't even touch the ceiling panel.

[@timdungan2092]

What did you use for the actual patch material?

[@hillbillyrv]

1:06 I say I will use Eternabond 11:00 I show rubber filler in hole 14:12 I show Eternabond package 15:09 I glue rubber filler down 15:49 I put Eternabond patch on I kinda think you didn't watch the video....ha ha

[@YAHaqabNatsariym2701]

He mentioned using osb board early on briefly

[@kristenpearson5150]

Any suggestions on closing the space from removing the water heater? I’m thinking it’ll be a little like this just bigger. Thank you for any suggestions!

[@hillbillyrv]

It will be really tough to close that hole, if you want it to look really nice. If that is not too important, just get a small sheet of aluminum in the correct color. Put that over the hole and seal it with silicone.

[@marcuscarmouche9023]

Just curious have you ever tried welding a patch with pvc glue. Mostly the same way you done that one except using a square of roof membrane and pvc glue to chemically bond the seams

[@hillbillyrv]

Nope. Never tried that.

[@JerryLynch2]

Mama's rolling pin would of layed that patch out, too! But it would have gotten you into a pretty good fuss, Lol! Nice job fella's!

[@hillbillyrv]

You know better than touch mama's rolling pin. lol

[@kennethschroeder2789]

Where can you order the eternabond sheet. Thanks, Sacramento

[@hillbillyrv]

There is 4 inch, 6 inch and 12 inch wide Eternabond in my Amazon store. www.amazon.com/shop/hillbillyrv

[@TomAllenBird]

Thank you for this video! You just saved me a TON of money!

[@hillbillyrv]

You are welcome a TON

[@OmarLake-s6q]

WOW instant relief! Thank you!

[@hillbillyrv]

Glad I could help.

[@TC-tw5zk]

Nice job!

[@hillbillyrv]

Thanks Tom

[@ianwilliams6294]

great video. where can i find an eternabond patch that size?

[@hillbillyrv]

They make eterna-bond in wider widths and you just cut the size you need.

[@Ricky-eo5ym]

Nice 👍

[@rjohnson3760]

Thanks!

[@hillbillyrv]

Very generous...you are welcome

[@tonyoliveri8708]

Prior to the Eternabond patch, what material was that smaller patch you put on the wood first?

[@hillbillyrv]

Rubber roof material, just trying to make it all the same thickness. Make it look as good as possible.

[@tonyoliveri8708]

Thank you!

[@michaelcanto6175]

NICE

[@sandrawoodcock2522]
