Newbie needs help with roof

My question is can I use the Eternabond tape along the whole roof edge to make sure I don't have any leak issues.

Yes

I did on mine, front to back, both sides. I had it come over the side onto the
metal corner about 1" (right above the vinyl insert) Did this 6 years ago and still holding strong.
Hope all goes well for you! Brian

good luck up there, have someone handy incase you need some help, clean the area's you going to tape with soap and a brush, eternabond is good stuff.

Thank you all for your help. I'm planning on doing that and then resealing the roof. Any suggestions on the best product for this? Thanks again

Everyone has their own ideas about what to use for resealing, A lot depends on what kind of roof you have, there are several kinds of material and many have different sealers to use. I used Snowroof and it's primer first but I have a rubber roof.

Sorry about not saying, it is a rubber roof. Thanks

Peoples opinions here are held dear to them. You can see than in some of the posts. I did my research and decided on a product I had used many times before with good results. Snowroof, it's a Sherwin Williams product with a long warranty. Not that I'll EVER use a warranty but I hope it represents a quality product. This is the primer from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/COATINGS-KST0000ES-16-Elastomeric-Undercoat-Primer/dp/B002PJ0U9A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499521087&sr=8-1&keywords=snow+roof+primer

It goes on with a Roller or brush and is water based so you need to use it when rain is not in the forecast (for whatever good that is at times) the roof needs to be clean, I used simple green and a scrub brush. all the seams need to be redone, I used this: https://www.amazon.com/Dicor-501LSW-1-Lap-Sealant-10-3/dp/B000BRF7QE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499522012&sr=8-2&keywords=rv+sealant

Look for any cracks in the existing sealer where the rubber roof stops, around vents, antennas, at the front and back caps, I had a leak at my ladder I found in the sockets the pipe fit into, those leaks are real curse for rv,s new AND old. If you pick this sealer, be liberal with it, it self levels. Don't use any silicone products. they don't last, if you see any on the roof, it should pull right off.

the roof product that goes with that primer is this: Snowroof

This coating is brilliant white, the Suns reflections from it will sunburn you, wear shades. good luck, this it just what I used, there are many good products out there , just make sure their rated for a rubber roof.

Thank you so much for all your good information. I really appreciate all your help.
