Thanks everyone!
Regarding eternabond it's easy to get mixed reviews. Lots of online reviews of people having water work it's way under and it turns into a mess. My old camper we used it and it started looking ragged around the edges. Not saying it does not work, I just figured I would stay with the standard sealant unless needed. That said, it is tempting to just cover the front and rear seam with eternabond. I just hate seeing some of the pictures of moisture underneath the tape.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback so far! Roof care seems to have a lot of opinions. Only consistent opinion is it needs to be taken care of.
Yeah those issues plus resale value and messing up any new trailer roof warranty as some have found out.
The wife and I looked at a three year old King of the Road 5th wheel trailer. Just what we wanted in a floor plan and had been used 5-6 times. Years back I had a part time mobilehome/rv repair business specializing in exterior/frame repair. So the first place I started looking was the roof. I climbed the rear ladder and good lord great strips of band aids laying everywhere covering up all the screw heads on every fixture/jacks on the roof. I didn't want the extra maintenance down the road.
WE looked else where.
