Rubber RV Roof Maintenance

[@circlarity1]

*Solid, **Fastly.Cool** and gets the job done. For rooms where window-mounted air conditioning is not an option, this works very well. Easy set up, rapid cooling, and great design.*

[@williamastorino9551]

Thanks, this is the best simplest to understand roof cleaning video I have seen! Thanks!!!

[@larryreid8562]

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!

[@markp6694]

You mentioned Murphy's Oil Soap so I used it to clean my rubber roof. It worked really well, mind blown! Thank you for the tips.

[@Marine-72]

Did you mix anything in the water besides Murphy's Oil Soap? Thanks

[@stevefred54]

Thanks for the info. You guys make a great team!

[@pavilajr]

Thank you for making the educational video for us 1st time trailer owners lol.

[@scottguitarguy2589]

Hmm... so you soak the roof, wash it... then rinse it and THEN you seal in that moisture with a patch? Is there NOT enough water in there to worry about?

[@anj3595]

How do you know if the moisture has already started and you are not sealing in the problem?

[@joelshaw1961]

please seal around the patches too with the self level lapseal to assure that the patch corners stay down

[@mattonlineify]

This is like watching your boss at work get up from his desk to make a video. LOL

[@oliverburke]

matt s Like watching a Laurel & Hardy comedy routine

[@garbagegut714]

What's a good replacement for the patch kit as I can't find the dicor diseal in white, just looking for a 6x6 patch kit

[@bluefamily3937]

Where do you find a dealer that doesn't charge an arm and leg and ask to keep your TT for days on end if your a full timer?

[@Walterz930]

Hey guys what do you think of running eternabond tape around the vents instead of sealer

[@shirahcarey9207]

thank you so much! I had no idea that surface could be clean and protected.great job.

[@TheChertman47]

You need to round the corners on any roof patch. Also, instead of using a TPO or EPDM patch, reinforced fabric and caulk can solve the problem long term.

[@carriegofourth2876]

Help! I have a newly purchased 2003 motorhome. Someone has previously resealed it. I have areas where that reseal is coming up. I recaulked with rv roofing product and purchased some new roof reseal to apply but... what do I do about the areas that I am having some bubbles and loose old product. I have removed what I can but there are loose edges and it's impossible to know if everything that was loose has been removed. Is it safe to apply the roofing reseal over the old...possibly loose product?

[@tobyray8700]

The 303 protectant they used in this video is nothing but ARMOR ALL. A $60 bottle of Armor All.

[@Lauralietx]

Thanks for Great Video!! Blessed Travels

[@Lauralietx]

I forgot how do I know if I have a rubber roof or the other type?

[@alive-awake]

Can you get these products at Home Depot or Lowes or where?

[@anutekanawitathunderthepol8876]

What a great video thank you soo much I am subscribed 😀 😊

[@aaronwomacks9666]

I have a 08 palomino puma and the vent above the fridge started leaking found water on floor luckily it looks like it only ran down the back of the refrigerator. After I reseal it will I need to dry the roof out and if so any tricks or tips to dry the wood on the sealing.

[@luannburton3133]

Can 303 be used on fiberglass?

[@tobyray8700]

The 303 is nothing but Armor All.

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Great information

[@vincentrvlife2393]

Great info! Thanks

[@Larry_Kabberga]

Aren't you supposed to take the old sealant out before applying the self-leveling? or the new would adhere to the old? thanks

[@bhstone1]

Can you put the Dicor self-leveling sealant over older sealant which has cracked? Or do you need to remove the old sealant first?

[@blakebraboy6909]

That’s what I want know

[@andresescobedo3140]

Remove old sealant for better results

[@RVROOFINSTALL]

You risk tearing the roofing if you try to remove. The plain truth is you could have 10 layers of Dicor and it will still leak. Dicor exploits people's ignorance to roof systems and charges rediculous amounts for the product. Do you caulk you windows on your house 3 to 4 times a year? Of course not. RV roofs are cheap as cheap comes. There are better products out there. Do NOT use silicone!!!!

[@happycamper5193]

@@RVROOFINSTALL so what are you saying when a roof needs to coat, replace roof? Or you saying there is a permanent fix at that point. I have seen RV armor I believe 5k for 40 foot 5th wheel life time warranty. Something of that nature?

[@happycamper5193]

Reason I ask. I paided someone to coat mine. And it looks like crap. I think they done one coat. And I personally believe it is doing no purpose after 6 months. I am considering to recoat it my self.

[@Exfog]

There seem to be a lot of variations of 303 (30306, 30350, etc...) - Which variant should we be using?

[@tobyray8700]

The 303 you see on their table…. That’s a $60 bottle of ARMOR ALL !!!

[@joemoneytaker1766]

Fantastic guys, thank you so much

[@cindywoodcraft4207]

Can you use it on the smooth sided camper too?

[@CedarHollowJRT]

Wow you didn't watch the Dicor How to use the patch...

[@jimshorts7983]

We have a new camper are roof wrinkles common or ok, two so far straight across had camper 5 months.

[@RogerSayers]

Good video guys... However, I must say that I hate rubber roofs. I have a 36-foot fifth wheel with three slides and it has the rubber roof. IIf I had the money I'd pay someone to remove the rubber and replace it with tin. There are RV's from long past that has tin roofs and are still in perfect condition. And that's from being exposed to the sun and freezing weather. This rubber "Crap" is a waste of money. IMHO

[@frankfrok1265]

Hi Bob & Bill, Thats a great instructive video. Can I get the cleaning and sealant products in Australia? If so, please advise? Regards, Frank

[@tobyray8700]

It’s armor all. That’s all the 303 Is.

[@pvvol6571]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@northerniltree]

I golf a lot. Should I remove my cleated shoes before doing this? Or, is that not important?

[@CampingWorldTutorials]

Haha! Where do you golf? No one lets spikes on their course anymore?!?

[@northerniltree]

I do indoor golf putting on my landlord's hardwood floor.

[@gkeith4120]

Yeah I just keep telling me what I don’t want to do I bet you could make a really long list

[@loisstill2257]

There’s no way I’m gonna be doing this every 3-5 weeks!

[@OffTheBeatenPath_]

Why do they even use rubber? Why not metal like older rv’s

[@Nobody1975JM]

A) Maintenance lobbyists B) Consumerism C) Profiteers D) All of the above

[@abseconPC]

What about replacing it with fiberglass then it's maintenance-free

[@TheSoloAsylum]

Use the Henry 887 100% silicone roof coating and you'll never have to worry about it leaking again.

[@mikesullivan542]

Will it stick to a rubber roof?

[@Holyrollah]

I like the ladder fact...I didn't know that

[@MYCHANNELWITHMYSTUFF]

you are not going to see black on a TPO rubber roof when is starts wearing out. that's only on EPDM rubber roofs

[@tobyray8700]

Spoiler Alert on the 303 Aerospace UV Protectant….. it’s ARMOR ALL. That’s it. I’m not saying it didn’t help moisturize the roof, but that a very expensive ($60) bottle of Armor All.

[@joesperone3863]

You notice it’s a TT not a 5er flat roof

[@mustangsusanshelby]

Next time round the corners

[@coryboyd7958]

Murphy's oil soap? On rubber? It's made for wood!

[@CampingWorldTutorials]

Bill says it's for isolated stains.

[@frmula1fan51]

Let's check the roof by spraying water on it first. Got it.

[@newsveteran4466]

Great instruction and procedure, but c'mon guys... just because there are two of you doesn't mean you HAVE to continue the banter between you. Why when there's a team, the presenters have to think that they MUST have some kind of "comical" banter. Just stick to business, and be the professionals that you are.

[@Ihike703]

Let’s be honest nobody’s gonna do this 3 or 4 times a year.

[@forrestjeffreys1936]

Magwire's looked better

[@cindywoodcraft4207]

303

[@cindywoodcraft4207]

Can 303 be used on smooth sided campers?

[@simonbolivar1678]

NEXT VIDEO... START AN ARGUMENT AND PUSH EACH OTHER.. MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A FIGHT ON TOP OF THE ROOF.... AND THEN TELL US YOU WERE JUST .. BLaFFING...

[@All2Skitzd]

What a bunch of clowns, Dicor Lap Sealant is the worst lap sealant on the market. Not one person can name a worse lap sealant. That should not be a maintenance item even in hot climates but people act like it's normal for it to crack or fail after 6-12 months then they put the same product that failed right back on.

[@cbradiospronto8781]

You guys talk too much
