New seals around bunks

Thats pretty much how I had planned to go about it Lemmi. Thanks for the input

It's not a bad job at all. Assuming it's at least similar to the Jayco 23B seal, it can be pulled off by hand, just go slowly. I tied off the canvas to get it out of the way and worked off the bunk end platform itself so the seal was easily accessible.

Order the bunk seal from the trailer manufacturer. I got mine from Jayco.

Once I removed the old seal, I used a putty knife and a 1/2" wide wood chisel to scrape as much of the remaining glue off the camper surface, then cleaned the surface with mineral spirits or paint thinner and a Scotchbrite pad. Have a few clean rags on hand and I would suggest using rubber gloves.

Putting the new seal on was a breeze; just pull off a 2-3" length of the backing paper and line up the new seal on the freshly cleaned and dry surface, then just go along the perimeter of the bunk end opening pressing the seal onto the surface.

Two watch-outs: be careful when scraping with a wood chisel, it is sharp and can/will cut a hole quickly in your canvas (that's one reason I moved the canvas out of the way as best I could); and be careful working from the bunk end platform, it is a good four-foot drop and could do some serious damage!

I did this job while camping one day - made sure there was no chance of rain; one end took about an hour, most of that time was devoted to cleaning off the left behind adhesive once I pulled the old seal off. It was actually kind of pleasant to have a small job to do while listening to the radio and enjoying the beautiful Autumn day in the campground.
