1996 Aljo 2440 Roof Replacement Project
Hello everyone! I have been lurking in the dusty corners of this site for about a year and I have found a number of terrific threads regarding roof replacement projects, but it's time for me to give ...
Forum Discussion
Days 4 and 5:
Another sick day for the baby and another short day for me. During nap time, I managed to finish installing all of the fixtures on the roof and get everything ready for Dicor and Eternabond.
I found these extended rain spouts at the RV store and I am sure these will solve the incessant tapping of rain drops on the marker light next to our bed.
I shopped around looking for a replacement 14" vent with a built-in fart fan for the bathroom, but everything I found was $80-$100 and I just can't justify that cost for a fart fan. I decided to canibalize my old vent for the fan parts and graft them onto the new 14" Heng's vent. The procedure went swimingly!
At this point, I applied a bead of lap sealant to all of the new fixtures and let the Dicor set up overnight. I also ran eternabond over the front and rear termination bars and along the corner transitions. The tape ain't pretty, so I'm not spoiling the pretty pictures on this thread with some hack-job tape work. Use your imagination :-)
Day 5: The End!
Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I hit the camper early! I hopped up on the roof and installed new VentAir vent covers over the two 14" vents and the construction had come to a close!!
I spent the rest of the day washing the camper, shampooing the carpets, and generally farting around with pet projects that have been bugging me while I waited for the carpets to dry.
Here's the finished product!
Bye-bye old roof, you were a good roof for 15 years, and a bad roof for 3. Have fun at your new home...
Final tallies:
Man-Hours: 57
Cash Spent: $1614.79
Cuts and Abrasions: 3
Thanks for watching. Feel free to shoot over any questions you might have.
