Advice please Leaking Rubber roof Travelcraft
The roof on our 1970's RV split. An interim owner had put on a rubber roof. (they purchased it from us years ago, then we purchased it back years later) We'd been trying to keep it sealed, but now, the rubber has split in several places and leaked all through to the inside. The interior ceiling has to be removed and replaced due to massive water damage. That part we think we can figure out.
Is there a way to repair the roof without removing the entire thing? We're not really even sure that would be possible since it is an aftermarket rubber roof, which was probably installed with contact cement. Also very confused on if there are any products that will actually stick to the rubber if we try to do a thorough patch job. We really can't afford $1000-$3000 to have the roof professionally redone. We've even wondered if there are other options of materials (ie: metal roofing) that we could use
Any suggestions? Would sincerely appreciate it. This is the RV my teenage son has grown up camping with his grandparents.
