Agree with John. I've got one of those mini grease guns left over from my boating days. I've got enough angst and indigestion from all of the usb cables that don't fit anything or only fits one of the 1/2 doz electronic devices laying around.

Based on what I see, it comes in 55 gal drums at the factory and the person on the line gets bored so he/she draws figures and then covers them up.

I've found that the RV repair tape works very well. Edges stay sealed and repairs are quick and easy, just make sure to clean the area you will be patching very well and dry it before using the tape.

Is there an easy way to determine what type of roof your trailer has? I think mine is TPO but would love to be more sure before stocking up on sealants and stuff. On Keystone site it only says that it is walkable.

Thanks!

There is an excellent resource located at the DICOR website. It's called, "Rudy's Expert Roof Care Handbook" and should be "required reading" for every RV owner. You can download it here: https://dicorproducts.com/images/RudysRoofbook_16.pdf Look at page 10 in the handbook for a specific process to use in determining if your roof is EPDM or TPO.

Note: TPO came on the RV scene around 2010 and the gradual process of converting from EPDM to TPO occurred during 2011-2013. After 2014, only a few trailers were produced with EPDM roofing. Today's trailer roof membranes (from about 2017 forward) are almost exclusively TPO.

Follow the guidebook and you'll be "taking good care of your roof"....

My old 2002 Cougar came with all the original paperwork and one of those data sheets/instructions was the roof stuff (EPDM); it was actually a warranty paper I think. You might check your original paperwork if you still have it.

Roof Issues

We recently had hail damage to our roof and it was the second one on our 2014 Raptor. The first roof peeled off on the front right behind the strap that is supposed to keep it secured. We contacted our insurance company and they sprung for a new roof. We did a lot of research and found a product called "Flexarmor." After several calls to the dealer in Denton, TX, we decided to go with their product. So far (3 months) we are very pleased. The product carries a lifetime warranty that transfers with the trailer if ever sold. If anything needs to be replaced on the roof, the company advised us to bring it back and they would spray the areas that were cut away to replace whatever. This is a two part spray on process that ends up with about a 1/4" of material on the roof that is completely maintenance free. I highly recommend this product.

There are 9 dealers in the Country now so there are several to choose from.

Eternabond

My neighbor is a tech adviser for another brand's site. Ten years ago he taped his trailer (Eternabond) and hasn't had a worry (or a leak) since. We're getting ready to do both my trailers (2001 Coachman mobile radio trailer; 2006 Cougar 302RL). The trick is to properly prep the seams- which has already involved fresh Dicor all around, and will include replacing screws with countersunk, smoothing and cleaning the corners so there are fewer bumps and potentials for cutting or lifting. I am pretty sure this is going to keep both units alive and well for several years to come.

I had my Jayco Eagle for 13 1/2 years before selling it. Never used eternabond, just regular routine maintenance. Never had a leak, To each their own.
