Eternabond primer etc question

I would definitely use the prime. Did the side seams on my 5th. wheel and portions of my roof and the eternalness started pulling away within a year. Yes it was properly prepped prior to being applied. I re-did it but this time used the primer and it is still 100% good 2 years later. Pay a little more and only do it once cause it's a PITA to remove it even if it's pulling up on it's own. Just my 2 cents.

Long story short

Wife and i bought a 33ft wildwood TT last july. So far only issue we’ve had has been a small tear in floor that was repaired under warranty. With so many problems associated with workmanship on new RV’s we feel extremely fortunate

I crawl on roof about once a month and inspect everthing. Factory seems to have done good job on caulking. I only touched up couple spots on front cap seal with self leveling dicor

Wife and i agree this will be our TT for at least 5 years if not longer. No kids just she and i so floorplan is great for us

I think im ready to seal the roof seams, vents, etc with eternabond to minimize roof maintenance. Im a diyer and have watched alot of videos on installation CLEAN SURFACE AREA


Ive got some basic questions

1.) Sides of roof have rain gutter. I plan on overlapping tape down into gutter. I assume eternabond sticks to plastic with no problems if cleaned and prepped properly?

2.). For side seams on roof, is it best to try 1 long piece for the entire length or is
Shorter pieces 5 or 6 feet more manageable?

3.) is the eterna prime worth the extra time and step ?
