RV Roof Reseal Flex Seal Update 1 to 2 Years Later | Can It Hold Up in a Hurricane?

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Here's the initial reseal process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qmmWCpjcmdq80 We're extremely happy with how Flex Seal is holding up so far!!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

@@stewartbrands It's actually recommend to reseal an RV roof every year. We don't do that, but the fact that it has done this well for this long is a win for us. We are just trying to keep people updated along the way. If we still have this RV in 5 years we will do another video update then. And of course let people know if anything gets compromised before then. I would assume you could find other reviews out there who have had it on longer.

[@gerlandkent6377]

[looks, great]👍

[@starhopper457]

Thought you don't know me, I have to offer an apology. As a tech, when I saw your initial video - I thought "Oh hell no, what a mistake that is.. " I stand corrected and apologize. Nice to see that your roof has held up very well. I am surprised and my hat's off to you!

[@FlexSeal]

We're so glad that Flex Seal Liquid was able to provide you with a successful solution. Thanks for sharing, Melanie! 💪🔛

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Thanks for keeping us nice and dry!! Have a FLEXtastic day!

[@modernbeatnik]

This is how a brand manages a brand. Nice job creating a product that does what it says and for you listening to your customers! Just bought an RV and will be using Flex Seal to redo my roof too.

[@rickl6697]

Can flexseal be used on a TPO roof membrane. I want to use it to coat all the decor sealant around the different vents and skylights. The self leveling dicor just doesn't flow out as well as I would like. (Unless it's really hot outside) Thanks.

[@MELESAKUEHN]

Can color be added to the white Flex Seal liquid?

[@Jamus1975]

We just used a gallon on our pop up camper roof. Two coats and it's looks and feels amazing and strong. First we squeegeed on, second coat we used a roller and made a super thick coat. Best decision ever to use flex seal.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Oh the squeegee was a great idea!! So glad it worked out well for you guys too!! We are really happy with it!

[@edwardyoung8575]

Shocking and awesome at the same time!!

[@SLICKW1993]

I sealed my front cap with Flex Seal, held up very well.

[@AnthonyMorrisMusic_83]

Just bought a 32 ft Sunnybrook Brookside. I think I'm gonna do the flex seal treatment all the way around after watching your videos. Thanks.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

You bet! Glad it was helpful. Enjoy your camper!!

[@MandyCrane]

After the last video you made on Flex Seal I was ready for this video to see the outcome. Thank you for the update!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

You bet!

[@jumpoffjoe6572]

We just bought a new 2023 38' Solitude 5th wheel and are not about to pay 7600$ for RV Armore roof! This on a new roof and maintained each year looks like a great idea. Thanks for the great video!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Yeah, agreed! The cost is definitely a lot, especially in comparison to alternatives. Glad you found it helpful. We are now well over 2 years in since the reseal and still going strong!

[@alext9723]

Thanks for the update on this. Saw the other video. Great job!

[@GypsyDiy]

Well, thanks for sharing this video thankfully, everyone’s OK. Sorry you lost your cover.

[@krisg3984]

What a huge relief for you ! Good to know

[@atsf8365]

Just did our Travel Lite Falcon 23 Toy Hauler with Flex Seal. Wow..what a great product and application. Once I had the seams prepped, about 30 minutes, I rolled the product on and didn't skimp on loading the roller. Two days later, it's dry and looks great!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Awesome! Glad it worked as well for you as it did for us!

[@CouchPotatoCamping]

Seriously, we’re going to buy FlexSeal after seeing your reviews!

[@TeacherRaf]

An ingenious quick fix with long term results hopefully.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

So far, so good!! Hoping it holds up another couple years.

[@gerlandkent6377]

[thank, you both for you're video]👍

[@kevinburton3212]

Hey, Thanks for the reply, appreciate it

[@TeacherKasie]

I’m so glad you show me these things. I need to learn to care for an rv for when I get mine. :)

[@robertsandidge441]

I’ll share my experience with flex seal. 6 years ago I purchased a truck, same one I use to tow my T.T. It has an incredible custom paint job. The bottom half is white with huge tires. I didn’t want rocks and road debris chipping the paint. So I took white flex seal liquid rubber and sealed a 4 inch strip on the rear rocker panels. It still looks great and if I didn’t point it out to you, you wouldn’t know it was there.👍I’m very happy with it and just sealed the front seam on the roof on my T.T.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Awesome!! So glad to hear you have had such a great experience with it.

[@WanderfulWorldofTravel]

Wow, so glad you are okay! Glad that it works!!!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Thank you! Same! We are very grateful to have resealed it when we did.

[@williamdavidson4576]

Thanks for the update. It looks like a really good product. I plan on sealing my 38 footer this weekend if it'll ever stop raining here in Oklahoma.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

You bet! Glad it was helpful. It's definitely still holding up really well. Hope the rain lets up a bit so you can get it done!!

[@lawrencebarker7529]

Ok you got me sold. I have a 65 Chevelle covertable the car and top are white the top needs a little help. I'm going to pickup a gallion, Let see how it holds up to being FLIXED and not cracking. I have high hopes. But sounds to good to be true in my situation. I'm hoping it won't separate from the canvas when being opened. the top cost is about 400 dollars and is a pain to install. I will make a video and post it. I'll try the 100 dollar fix first. And thank you guys was very informative.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

I am glad you found the video helpful, but I would definitely try a patch spot first if you are using it on canvas. I am not sure, like you said, how it will hold up to the opening and closing on that type of material .

[@NomadicTrio]

This is a great review video! We love Flex Seal! We probably need to reseal our roof!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

It's definitely been a great product for us!! Held up really well.

[@TeacherKasie]

Glad you both and the RV are safe. Flex seal seems like a great product. I never thought about the maintenance of keeping up with the rv.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

There's always something that needs attending to. So definitely plan to learn repairs on the go if you give RV life a try!

[@QuirkyMusicTeacher]

I'm glad it worked!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Thanks!! Us too!

[@rmstark1966]

Now thats it has been awhile longer what has been your maintenance schedule on this? DO you tear the edges off what comes off then cover over it? How much does your RV cover rub off the edges when you remove it and can you use any flex seal products to seal over the flex seal liquid around say vents etc

[@LifesSweetJourney]

We haven't had to do any of that, it is still holding up really well and hasn't rubbed or peeled at the edges yet at all! We also no longer have a cover- it got ripped in a storm so it is just exposed to the sun. But yes if we needed to patch spots we would just paint over with more of the flex liquid.

[@dalewells7194]

I bought an 86 16ft sunliner camper and it had some roof leaks.The roof seemed like aluminum so i used flex seal brushed the edges and seams then rolled the roof.I was wondering if i should apply a 2nd coat since i still have some left in the gallon i bought.It looks really good i really liked the thickness because i didn't have to deal with it running down the sides.I actullay bought 2 gallons but at $109 a gallon one is going back since one gallon will go so far.Thanks for your video i'm keeping my fingers crossed this works

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Awesome! Glad it only took you one gallon. If you think it looks thick enough I wouldn't worry about applying the second coat, just save the leftover for touchups if needed. That's what we did with the one we had some leftover in. So far only had to use a small bit of it once for a part that got scraped. Hope it hold up as well for you as it has for us!

[@EZRVGOERS23]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@williesage9320]

I was wondering what kind of membrane you had on your roof cuz they told me not to use Flex Seal on TPO membrane

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Hi Willie, we have an EDPM roof. If you were warned against Flex Seal for yours I would maybe look into something else. If you are using the Flex tape though for minor repairs or patching holes until you can do a full reseal that should be ok.

[@RebekahFOnlineTeaching]

great review. thanks

[@buns52557]

Great job guys like 😊 your video I think I’m going to give flex seal AGO OF IT BUY THE WAY DID YOU USE FLEX TAP ON YOUR SLIDE OUT AND WENT OVER IT WITH THE FLIEX SEAL? Showing on the video

[@buns52557]

Please reply on my question

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Hi, no the tape you see on the slide outs is the original tape that was part of the roof when we bought it. It was the tape that the manufacturer used to in the initial built to reinforce the seams of the slides. Anywhere that we had Flex Tape on the roof we removed it before sealing with the Flex Liquid as that was what was most recommended from Flex Seal. The only place we didn't remove the Flex Tape was on the vent covers as it was covering holes. You can see where we removed it, as well as the painted over vent covers in the initial reseal video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qmmWCpjcmdq80).

[@JESUSISALLPOWER]

How good is it put in a second coat on top of what you have already

[@gerlandkent6377]

[how, does that car wash work out for you're roof for cleaning. I, use dawn dish soap the blue liquid]

[@MELESAKUEHN]

Can color be added to the white Flex Seal liquid?

[@462opd2]

I have a 2021 grand design 5th wheel. I was just informed by the deal that I need a new roof after only two years. They want $10000 to fix it. I personally only saw one minor tear but they say it all needs to be replaced. I think I will do what you did with flex seal. Way cheaper and way better. Just one question. Did you leave the original rubber roof on or did that come off????

[@LifesSweetJourney]

After just two years on a 2021? That seems wild! It's not under warranty? Yeah, in total is was only like $300 and the man hours of our time, but did it in under a day so well worth it. We left the original roof on and just sealed over it. We had a pretty big tear in one side of ours, so we made sure to seal over that extra well. Here is the original reseal video if that's helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qmmWCpjcmdq80 Best of luck!!

[@kevinswinyer3176]

Hi, I am getting ready to get a 1991 Fleetwood Flair 22 foot Class A Motorhome, and it's roof needs a good resealing. Does the flex seal rubber roof coating that you used come in a 5 gallon bucket, or will I need to purchase it in gallon containers ?

[@LifesSweetJourney]

I think the largest size they have is a 2.5 gallon bucket which you can get directly off their website. Otherwise if you are trying to get it off of Amazon or in the store I think the largest is 1 gallon.

[@gerlandkent6377]

[you, said 1 1/2 years that the flex seal has been on the roof that has held up great]👍

[@ScottCorbin-dv5pz]

I’m fixing to flexseal my roof did you re-tape the seams or did you just paint over the caulk and everything?

[@LifesSweetJourney]

We did not retape the seams. We did remove the old Flex Tape we had covering one of the holes, as that is what they recommended. We just made sure to apply liberal amounts of sealant to that spot. And yes, painted over old caulk. You can see the initial reseal process in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qmmWCpjcmdq80 - which will show how we trimmed everything and what we painted over :) Best of luck!

[@sandeeszabo1213]

It actually looks like you didn't get a lot of water or a lot of heavy winds as the boat next to you is empty and all of the boats and campers are still standing and the cover on some boats are still there.

[@onlineteacherallyson]

Thanks for sharing your experience with this! I always wondered if it was legit!

[@LifesSweetJourney]

You're welcome! It's definitely worked wonders for us!

[@gerlandkent6377]

[prayers🙏🙏🙏

[@GB-hk9ou]

How many gallons for a 31 ft camper?

[@LifesSweetJourney]

I would say 2, and then maybe just an extra quart. We have a 34ft and it took us 2.5 gallons. We started with two and needed slightly more so went out and grabbed a third gallon but only used a portion of it.

[@mike-bj4dk]

well cant go by slide outs but rest of roof held up ok. slide outs wouldve been inside the rv

[@LifesSweetJourney]

We lived full time in the RV for a long while after we first did the reseal, about a year (6 months in Florida through quite a few storms, but yes definitely in during the actual hurricane very true, should have mentioned that). But they were out that entire time before we took it to storage.

[@gerlandkent6377]

👍

[@jerrywhitlock4028]

Is flex seal protective against u v rays ?

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Yes, it is rated as UV resistant! It has definitely helped keep things cooler inside the rig.

[@alisonpack7938]

Let us know if it ever starts leaking :)

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Will do! So far no leaks, so it's already made it past the recommended time to people say to reseal your rv. Though we don't actually adhere to the every two years belief lol.

[@chambliziOfficialChannel]

Flex any product be like: imma tell you ONE moh time and yu thu! Imma real tape boh! I'm a real tape boh! I'm a skreet tape! ONE MOE TIME! 😡

[@CW-er7wh]

Is this video sponsored by flexseal?

[@LifesSweetJourney]

No, this one is not. We do partner with Flex Seal for other videos however. They did send us product free to test out, for our initial reseal video. This was the check in we told our community we would give them as we continue to see how it holds up. We will always be open and honest with the things we share, even if they turn out not to work for us. Which includes any partnerships we may have that turn out to not work down the line.

[@gerlandkent6377]

✌️

[@rossharring6996]

someone informed me that flex seal does not have a Uv protectant in it- meaning it's going to break down sooner than later

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Ours says UV resistant. The can says once cured it is mildew and UV resistant. For us so far it's holding up well and we are in Florida in open sunlight. Two years in and it's going well for us.

[@MAXIMUSMINIMALIST]

Putting hurricane in the title might make for good Clickbait but a hurricane is not even remotely close to a good test for this product because the real test is ultraviolet radiation and time.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

Thankfully it's holding up well for that too. 3 years in and it's the same as the day we did it.

[@Noobz-347]

Hi... Could you estimate how much time the FlexSeal sat in the sun versus under the cover in the last year-and-a-half? Thanks.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

It has been uncovered most of that time. So sitting pretty exposed to Florida sun. Only in shade when we camp which hasn't been that often in the last year.

[@Noobz-347]

@@LifesSweetJourney - Thank you. They must have added something to help with UV since the last time I tried it for anything. I will have to give it another shot.

[@LifesSweetJourney]

@@Noobz-347 It does say rated for UV protection, so maybe they did change their formula.
