Video on Rubber Roof Replacemnt ?

I am trying to find a video or BLOG on self replacing a rubber roof
I have searched and can't seem to find one.

Looks like I will have to replace my roof next year ? I bought a
"Waterproof RV cover" from Empire covers this year and it is ok for the winter storage but I want some protection when I am out using the fifthwheel ( it is 14 years old )

I will probably buy a new fifthwheel next year but will give this one to my daughter to keep on her ranch for visitors so want it in top shape.

  • I went to a local metal storage racking supply house and bought myself one 10'x10' section of rack. It is wide enough for the front end of my truck to fit into and since it is 10 feet tall i can adjust the shelf platform to a comfortable height to work from. It comes apart for storage and is very strong. This is the same type racking you will find in any big box store.
    I used mine the first time to replace and reseal all of the clearance lights on the front nose cap of the rv. It worked great. Then i just took it apart and store it behind my storage shed in the back yard.
  • Thanks for the information.

    I watched some of the videos on the job and it doesn't look that hard ??

    The only problem I see is me getting the AC off the roof then back on.

    I will do the work outside in the summer and I have a 30' tarp to cover it at night.
    I think I may build a platform up even with the roof to slide the AC onto until the roof gets done? I know my Daughter will want the 4X4 posts when I am done for her horse pens so no waste.

    Thanks everyone for the link to the Videos. ( more dumb questions to follow )

    Aloha Leon
