Hahaha...rvcircus...believe me...there are some days that that sounds pretty darn good ;) So I will post pics soon of the damage that has happened. The only visible damage from inside is the ripples in the ceiling panels. We did have someone reseal/recaulk & he filled in the tear. So if we did nothing to it in ways of repair this winter & just put a tarp over it & kept snow off of it as much as possibly how much longer would you give a camper with water damage? If we notice in the spring that the damage didn't seem to get worse could we still take it out next summer?
I would go with an RV cover instead of a tarp. Tarps tend to hold in moisture instead of breathing. I would also use Eternabond to seal the rip in the roof (clean the area and go right over the area if he used Dicor lap sealant). Do you know what product was used to reseal/recaulk?
I'd also be concerned with mold or rot if there is wet insulation in the ceiling. I'd be inclined to open up the ceiling to get an initial look at what you're dealing with and let it air out.
If you have any photos please share, but it doesn't sound like anything is really visible to determine the extent of damage.
