When you first purchased your RV,
rationally you will think of spending years and even decades with it with lot
of fun with family and travelling along the countryside. You will expect your
RV to last a very long life. But suddenly when a first roof leak pop ups in
your RV, you likely felt more than a bit put out. RVs new or old will pop-up
roof leaks but the important thing is to understand what causes that sneaky
leak in the first place, and how you can fix it?
Causes of RV Roof Leaks
RV roofs can be damaged in different
ways. Whether your roof is made of metal, rubber, or polymer, it can or
will develop leaks. Leaks are commonly seen around fixtures, such as skylights
or vents in the roof.
Here are some common causes of RV
roof leaks:
Ø Sun
exposure
Ø Falling
limbs
Ø Rain,
snow, or hail
Ø Extreme
temperature changes
Ø Time
RV wear and tear is normal but it
causes roof leaks. You cannot fight weather, you cannot avoid rough patches on
the road but what you can do is make your RV roof stronger and tougher than it
is. You have to do this before you notice any leaks, or address RV
roof leaks when you do notice them.
How to Fix RV Roof Leaks
If there are holes are cracks on
the RV roof then you have to seal them up. A liquid sealant like Liquid Roof
repairs the roof and acts like a glue to piece your rubber roof back together,
and can be used around fixtures like skylights and vents. Applying a protective
coating like Liquid Roof will prevent the roof getting damaged in the future as
well. Liquid Roof is actually EPDM in liquid form and is a paint-on substance
that anyone can put on their RV roof. Liquid Roof is a very versatile roofing
material and can be used to address RV roof leaks in any material, including
metal, rubber, and polymer.
Liquid Roof is a DIY product. Applying Liquid Roof just requires a bit of hand practice and it takes just a weekend to apply this yourself. Simply paint on to the roof and let it cure in dry, sunny weather for a couple of days. Easy as a pie!
