RV/Camper Roof Repair

Keeping your roof in good repair is essential to the life of your recreational vehicle. Moisture from leaks in the roof is one of the most damaging problems an RV owner can run into. First thing to do is follow your manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule for your roof.

At the beginning of the season last year I went through and resealed all the seems on the roof of our pop up camper, it is a 1997 Jayco. Then on our last trip of the year we got some rain, low and behold a leak appeared. We got home and cleaned and dried out the camper before packing it away for the winter. Upon inspecting the roof I found the problem, but left it alone for the winter. We have the advantage of keeping the pop up in the garage, so I was not worried about putting off the repair. If your camper stays outside you need to address the situation immediately.

I spent some time over the winter trying to decide the best way to repair the roof and not have the same problems again. I have decided on Eternabond as my tool of choice. After researching it seems to be highly recommended throughout the RV community. I will be ordering the Eternabond and begin making my roof repair in the coming weeks. I will follow up with pictures and a review of the repair process. Please feel free to visit our camping forum to discuss RV repair.

  1. I have a 1997 Coleman Santa Fe pop-up and the plastic top is getting cracks all in it. What is the best way to repair it and what is the main cause?

  2. we have a 1996 Coleman Shenandoah and it is has cracks all over the exterior. How can we repair or repalce – ?

  3. I have the same problem with our 88 jayco. I replaced canvas with new one and replaced the ac unit gasket. The only thing else to do is the center seam. It sound like I need the same sealing tape. I was wanted to know how it went.
    Thanks,
    Chad
