Eternabond probably wasn't in existence when Doug learned how to repair roofs. I doubt EB on a roof spot will diminish the value at all and if installed correctly, is probably stronger than the roof material. Get with the times Doug, EB is the new way to fix things and is cheaper than owners having to pay guys like you hundreds of dollars to do it the old way.

I use Eternabond. BUT, there is a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to do repairs. Yes, Eternabond was not around 34 years ago. But, it is NOT a wonder patch. So, YOU would be happy if your new car got a bad scratch on the paint and the dealer just either dabbled a touch up paint on it or put a similar colored patch of tape to cover it???? IF ANY of you went up on a roof and saw a bunch of Eternabond all over the scrapes and holes the owner caused, you would be happy to purchase that RV??? What do you think a Dealer does on a potential used trade in RV when he sees Eternabond patches on the roof???? What do you think the potential BUYER will think when he sees Eternabond patched on the roof? Insurance companies PAY to replace the complete roof just from one tear or hole, NOT just state "Eternabond it". Now, no insurance, then yes, Eternabond it. Doug

X2 what Doug said (or is that X3 ;) )

ET to me looks like junk, and I would steer clear of the rig unless the price was right.

me to, and I'd be clear no matter what the price. As I mentioned in a previous post I ended up with a tear in the roof from a branch. Insurance paid (less deductible) to replace the entire roof. In fact, in most states they are required to pay for a complete replacement since they law states it must be repaired to "pre loss conditions".

And it would be very difficult to tell mine had ever been replaced, dealer did a fantastic replacement job.
