We Made The Worst RV Boondocking MISTAKE Ever

[@davidshoemaker8254]

Clean the area with a good RV roof cleaner and use Eternabond Tape to seal it. The Eternabond tape will outlive the roof in most cases.

[@wildrvlife]

Yes! That’s exactly what we did. It definitely seems solid for now. It is on the edge so we’re keeping an eye on it

[@Roadtripmischief]

​@@wildrvlifeIt will be fine! Some people will edge their entire roof with Eternabond. It could have been much worse. We had 25 feet rip along the edge in a storm and then had to dry it off the next morning and use Eternabond to secure and seal it. As small as your tear, you can leave it with the Eternabond and will have no trouble.

My "bride" of 41 years and I have been camping ever since we got married. Started with a pickup box shell, to a popup, travel trailers and then fifth wheels. We are now on our 7th camper. We consider ourselves pros by now, and yet we still have an "oops" now and then. We have learned over the years, just like our partnership in marriage, that when "stuff" happens to the camper we take it on as a team, just like you two do. If nothing else mishaps make for great campfire stories... As others below have said, don't beat yourself up for things that can be fixed. And Eternabond Tape is your friend and will last for years. How great it is for you at such a young age to follow you dreams and passions to be on the road together and making fantastic memories. My hats off to you both!!

[@philiplucarelli7576]

Just a bit of advice, I have been driving tractor trailers for over 32 years. In watching your videos I have noticed you seem to stay in your lane when making turns. First always look ahead and be safe, and you can approach your turns and make a much wider turn. It's OK if you safely get into the other lane and make a much wider turn. You will be surprised by how much easier it is. Be safe.

[@anthonystanley7132]

We did the exact same thing. I repaired with eternabond tape and we are going on two years without any issues.I do check it on a regular basis with no problems.

[@wildrvlife]

Oh good to know that the Eternabond has lasted so long! I know it’s supposed to but like to hear proof of it 😅

[@tamathagallegos9790]

We did too! First trip out in our brand new toy hauler, broke the awning and gouged the roof. Ugh!

[@chrisschiel6741]

Cut the rough edges and put eternabond tape on it and don't worry yourself. It will last longer than your roof material

[@LoriCantrell-d8g]

We had the same thing happen to our rv except it happened in a rv park where branches weren’t trimmed well. We used roofing eternabond tape and it lasted for years. We really enjoy watching your videos. It is a highlight of our week.

[@wildrvlife]

That’s what we have on it now! I think it will be good for a while but we’re thinking we might want to fully replace it at some point just to be sure. And thank you so much!!

Please don't be too hard on yourselves! My husband and I know the feeling when we jackknifed our new super with our enclosed trailer. It sucks but it can be repaired and turn into a memory. So greetings from us, fellow full-time travelers.

[@warsurplus]

If you look carefully at time 17:10 there is liquid dripping down near the left rear jack while the trailer is traversing the dip. Don't know if this is important but wanted to let you know.

[@wildrvlife]

good eye! That's where our fresh water overflow pipes are so when we lean a little too far that direction, it can overflow.

[@rollingwiththebolings]

My husband says that people definitely should be wearing shoes while driving in case of emergency. We were in a similar situation last week where branches scratched the top and sides of our trailer. We had to get on the roof while the branches were stuck in the solar panels. It was so nerve racking wondering what damage was done. I guess we need to carry a polesaw with us. Hope your roof can be fixed easily. Thanks for sharing your videos. We watch every week and follow you on Instagram.

[@wildrvlife]

Aww so sorry that happened to you guys too! The branches can be deceiving sometimes in terms of how low or far they actually stick out!

[@louissantoscoy6461]

If you want to conserve on the black tank when boondocking consider what we have done for years. We usually stay at our spot for 2-3 weeks. It may be gross to some, but it is what it is. We urinate in one of those his and hers plastic bottles found on Amazon. At some point we wander in the woods and away from our neighbor's we dump it. You will be surprised how much it cuts down on the black tank from filling. We also have a small bucket in the shower and catch the excess water when bringing the water up to temp. We then use this water for flushing the toilet when needed.

Sorry about your roof damage. Eternabond and sealed with Dicor no-sag should create a good repair. If you decide to replace the membrane, you might look at RV Armor. They advertise that they will come to you (not in the woods, perhaps) and will take off and reinstall all roof components. I don’t have personal experience with them, but there are plenty of reviews and KZbin videos.

Eternabond Tape is your best friend. I drove too close to our house roof line and caught the awning and along with damaging the awning frame, we have small dents in the siding of the RV. Almost broke a window in the house. Repaired the awning (sort of) frame and used Eternabond on the fabric. Doesn't look the best, but it works. Yay, fun times.

As everyone else has told you. Eternabond tape and 90% isopropyl alcohol to clean the area. Be sure to allow the alcohol to flash off and you'll be golden for years.

The new buyer said it was good to him, he was going to put some free-floating RV sealant on it. Good to go. And I don’t think your insurance company will do a new roof for that.

Yep, we will probably leave e it with the tape for a while.

Eternabond will fix that easy! That's just a lil snag. Do all the edges all the way around the unit and all openings to ladder, a/c's and vents and it'll all be fine. We bought a new 2023 GD and the 1st thing we did was eternabond every edge. It also allows the eternabond to take that initial hit rather than the TPO membrane. You'll be fine....

We took it to Affinity RV Group in Goshen, Indiana where the adjuster came and worked with them on the estimate and repair. 3 days in and out for a brand new roof that actually looked better than the original. They are the BEST in the country at repairs. If insurance pays for the roof it should cover the cost of them removing and replacing the panels. Ps, im Wendy's husband that won the giveaway!!

@@wildrvlifethat’s what the eternabond is for and in fact it’s a horrible pain to remove it’s so good. Years down the road IF it starts to look bad you just put another one over it after taking the white part off and the old eternabond sets in with the new. Some people use it instead of lap sealant around all of the vents and accessories so they don’t ever have to do anything else… for me that’s a little too much because what happens if you need to replace a vent…

[@jeffreyjohnston6843]

@@wildrvlife that is so true lots of people do drive bare foot down here. I don't know if you guys have ever seen the flex seal adds on tv, but I have used the flex seal rubber they have black and white rubber in a pint can. I think you can use a wide tape like duct tape turning the edges up to make a little dam area around where your roof is torn. make sure you clean the area good with alcohol, so it sticks really good. and I would use a small brush and put it on in layers letting it dry well in-between coats. I think this will fix it and you shouldn't have to replace the roof. and after you have coated it with the rubber, I would put a piece or two of duct tape over the rubber to keep the uv rays from the sun off the rubber and it should last for many yrs. without any trouble. I think you can find the flex seal online too.
