Always check with your trailer dealer or manufacture before adding Eternabond.
We had one new guy add it to his roof of his brand new TT. His TT dealer saw it while doing other warranty work and says it voids the roof warranty. A google has more input on the subject.

If you add Eternabond up there make it look OEM for resale down the road and best function. Youtubes has lots to look at on sealing the EB edges for a OEM look and to keep water from getting under a edge.

What do you mean by "his dealer saw it". The owner of the dealership, a salesman, their service person? The manufacture would determine if it would void the roof warranty. Maybe the company that made the rubber roof. Were they all there looking at it. Kind of a vague statement.

Whoever makes the call is irrelevant. The point is check with the trailer dealer/or mfg first. This guy probably wishes he did.

"A while back, I opened a thread asking whether eterna-bonding the roof seams on an almost-new TT as a preventative measure was a good idea ...the virtually unanimous opinion was 'yes'....

Well, took the TT to the selling dealer today for some minor work...rep. sees the tape job, asks 'why on earth did you DO that'?, and tells me that: a.) it's not necessary b.) it'll trap water if any water ever gets beneath the tape, and c.) any claim under the roof warranty may get kicked on grounds that the roof has been 'modified'....

thought i did the right thing by sealing the seams, but now not so sure...."
