Roof treatment while FT. Where?

We will be in CA & AZ this winter and want to have our roof done while in a FHU RV park. Does anyone have suggestions for places that allow this type of work at your site? We are thinking Yuma is most likely. Thanks!

  • You should be able to do it most anywhere, besides what could possibly go wrong?


    The information is out there, all you have to do is let it in.
  • If you do it discreetly, you can probably do it just about anywhere. Mostly RV parks and campgrounds will have a "no washing camper" rule so you won't run a garden hose and use excessive water, and flood the campsite, or your neighbors campsite.

    But absolutely every campsite I've ever been on, I've taken a pan of water, a wash cloth and washed the side of my camper, usually the slide out slides. I spot clean, clean the awning all the time, and never has anyone ever challenged me on it.

    I've been on the roof of my camper checking things out, and I've seen other campers doing repairs on their roofs. But it's always done quietly, without any fanfare, and without making any kinds of messes. For example, if you are fixing a spot on your roof, you don't drag out of the back of your truck a construction company! It's done discretely and very quiet. No one will ever notice. And absolutely no evidence laying around the camper you are doing a repair or a fix. It's always tool in hand, or out of site, never laying around. This works, and I've done my share of instantaneous fixes at campgrounds everywhere. Never been challenged.
  • If they would allow you to climb up on your roof while in a site, wouldn't they allow you to either calk or apply a coating yourself on your roof?
