rubber roof membrane damage

Newbie here, sorry if posting incorrectly.

I have a used 2003 Keystone Challenger with a rubber roof membrane that has a small hole in it caused by a tree branch. I is about a dime size tear/hole in an otherwise nice looking roof membrane. I'm not sure how to repair this thing and would like to prior to having any rain on it.

Is there a patch made for this type of repair?

Thanks!

    Alrighty then, I'm sold. I'll look for it locally and get this thing fixed.
    Thanks!

    In a pinch (if you cant find EB) use some Gorilla Tape (available at any HW store) until you can get the EternaBond. It's water proof and will last months as a temporary patch.

    When we bought our 5er, I found a dime size tear in the membrane. I put some of that decor self leveling caulk over the top and it's held just fine for 6 years, and no signs of it failing.

    I did the same thing with my Keystone Cougar...go to any camping world or rv store they make a patch kit with a sticky back... cut out the size patch you want clean the surface and it will stick on just fine. My patch has held over 3 years without issues.
