How to care and maintain your RV’s Roof during winter?

I love to keep my RV always in ship-shape. Do you as well?

Here are some of the points in my checklist to care for my RV (I usually say them common culprits of mobile home RV roof leaks):

Rain & Snow: Biggest enemy of my RV’s roof is the ponding water. If you can fight with it or do a close watch when to let it go and you do; you are the winner else your enemy wins.

Debris and low-hanging tree branches: It commonly create rips, holes, or loosened seals in your mobile home’s roof. And if ponding water stays longer than your RV should be hospitalized immediately.

Parking: Consider parking at spacious location. If parking at home and you have bunch of trees then must try to trim around your home. Flying debris you cannot control until you have nice neighbor (that you cannot control) and you are a superman to kick everything away from your RV (very difficult). Having a hanger for your RV can be a good idea (very costly to have a large garage to park your vehicle).

 

Condensation or improper ventilation: Also, many older RV’s and mobile homes start to present moisture issues caused by condensation or improper ventilation. Get an expert (do it yourself if you love it) to check the ventilation.

Material breakdown and improper installation: You learned or someone else learned on your vehicle during installation and yes he did what maximum he did bad for you (if you are not expert better to learn or hire an expert to do the job).

How the best RV Sealer protects your RV roof…?

Having a mobile home or RV can be very convenient, but if you want your mobile home or RV to last longer, you need to take proper care of it. RVs are behemoths in nature. On one side, RVs offer lots of fun and enjoyment but on the other hand RVs also create a lot of issues demanding attention. One of the areas that tend to receive little attention until something goes wrong is the RV roof. Just as with any other vehicle, the roof of your RV is vulnerable to scratches, wear and tear, and even leaks.

 

Inspect, Inspect and Inspect

If you want to have a hassle free RV journey, inspect your RV particularly the roof on a regular basis. Climb up the ladder on to the RV roof. Make sure your RV roof supports your weight as safety should be the first priority. If, the roof is weak make use of sheets of plywood and put them across the roof to give roof some additional support. While you are on the roof, look for dry spots, holes, cracks, and any loose caulk around the seams vents and roof edges. If, you found any of these issues it means the roof needs some serious repair and restoration work by employing a roof sealer e.g., RV Roof Magic.

 

Using a Roof Sealer

If the damage on your RV is extensive it will need replacement, however if it needs just minor to moderate repair work than a roof sealer is the best and convenient way to get the job done. RV roof sealer not only water-proofs your RV, It blocks UV-rays, and protect your RV’s roof and interior from those bright, sunny days, dark rainy days, or cold winter blizzards.

How to really inspect your RV for water damage & fix leaks the right way…..!!!

Just as with any vehicle, the roof of your RV is vulnerable to scratches, wear and tear, and even leaks. Everyone hates having leaks in their RV, but chances are everyone will have to deal with them at some point. With proper RV maintenance and the right tools e.g., RV Roof Magic to perform simple RV leak repairs, you will enjoy your trips for years to come.

 

Common Causes of Leaks

· Rain and snow are two major culprits behind RV leaks. Most RVs have flat roofs and snow sits on that flat surface, and the melted water seeps into the seams ultimately finding a way into underlying roof deck.

· Debris and low hanging tress branches create rips, holes, or loosened seals in your mobile home’s roof, which then allows rain and snow to leak through.

· Material break down and improper installation also cause roof leaks. As the roof coating gets older it will crack and stretch allowing rain water to seep in.

Identifying a Leak

· If there is a hole in your ceiling from where sunlight can pass through.

· Sagging ceiling or walls

· Smoke test the RV

· Visual inspection of the roof.

Fixing Leaks

The most recommended way to fix RV roof leaks is by applying a roof coating e.g., RV Roof Magic, which is compatible to use with your RV roof surface. Roof coating e.g., RV Roof Magic, benefits in extending the life of the roof. Extra life means you can wait for years before roof replacement and potentially prevent roof material ending up in the landfill.

DIY method to apply roof coating:

Applying roof coating is not difficult; all you need is a right pair of tools like nap rollers, squeegees, paint brushes and the time & inclination to do the job yourself.

First you need to clean the roof. A light power wash is all you need to clean the roof, if power wash is not available make use of mild detergent or a quality degreaser with bristle brush to remove any oil residues. Look for minor cracks or separations in the seams or joints and caulk these areas as needed. Once the roof is clean and dries, apply the RV roof coating using nap rollers for flat areas and paint brushes for corners and hard to reach areas. 

It is recommended to apply the coating outdoors on a clear sunny day. If you choose to do the coating indoors, then use a respirator. Make sure the indoor space is properly ventilated and aired-out after applying the coating to the RV.
