- mwebber78ExplorerUnless it says "Eternabond" on it the product isn't close and will likely lift over time unless you do the edges with caulking. Eternabond will last nearly forever.
- L_MMusicExplorerI've spent lots of time on the roof these last couple days. I cleaned all the areas around all the rips that I'd duct taped on Monday. It looks like the tape and the tarps did the job during the heavy rains. Applied new duct tape to cleaned areas and now have added sef-sticking Instant Rubber Roof Repair. Is this the equivalent of Eternabond? I have a gallon of sealant ready and waiting for the temps to stay above 50 degrees for 24 hours. Currently 52, but getting colder overnight. Fingers still crossed that no pin holes cause any problems until I get up there again with the sealant.
Hey loydt, do you have the second air-conditioner in the bedroom? We couldn't figure out how to use the wingman on our antenna because with it installed, the antenna wouldn't lower all the way -- wingman hit the AC!
Have fun in Daytona. Carefree travels! - loydtExplorerSpent most of day yesterday prepping mine for Daytona. Heading out this Thursday. Did a lot of stuff that has been driving me nuts for a while. Cleaned up all the wiring in the basement by running it through flexible conduit and securing it to the floor area so is hidden by joist, etc. I also figured out how to install a permanent TV ant connection down there. Now, we can watch HD tv and satellite on the flat screen in basement! Also installed the "wingman" for the roof ant. This is supposed to boost the HD signal. Will see. No luck yet on LED bulbs for the tail/brake lights yet.
- loydtExploreris either 80 or 85 amp
- CHV_FRKExplorerDoes anyone know what the max amp load of our battery charging unit is? Harbor Freight has a little cheap generator on sale. I'm looking for something to take to the unit while in storage and use to charge the batteries while I'm maybe doing a few things. Maybe something for boondocking.
- loydtExplorerAnybody here changed out their lights from standard bulbs to LED? I saw bulbs for the rear but not sure if they nake then for the marker/clearance lights?

Frank - 2QAYLExplorerSincerely sorry, L & M Music, to hear of your misfortune, and I do hope you can weather the weather with the temporary repair. So far so good for us and no major incidences with this trailer but I did rip the awning on our 2000 designer when a too tight camp ground road forced me into some branches on a turn.

Go find a local dealer and buy a role of Eternabond before the rain. Prep the surface, apply, roll and forget it for the rest of your natural life.
Rains came and more are coming! I hope the wind isn't strong enough to raise the tarp and lob the bricks off the roof. However, I shall persevere when the sun shines and use the mighty Eternabond!!!
I don't mind the cosmetics of it so much -- just hate the thought of an undetectable leak haunting me!
Thanks for the commiseration, Ed! Always nice to know we're not the only ones.:C
