Roof Repair Question
First off, thanks to all of you, I have been lurking here for about a year and have gained so much from this forum. ( isnt the net a wonderful place? )
My question is this, I recently found a leak in our TT that seems to be originating from the front corner of our roof. ( where the cap, sidewall and roof form a corner.) it appears that this has been a growing issue as when I went up there I noticed that the corner of the plywood ( about a 6x6 triangular area) is spongy.
My question is can I dig out the existing silicone, dicor, and other caulk substances, replace with new dicor, clean the surfaces and then lay eternabond over this, or do i need to peel the roof, replace the bad wood and start over with a new roof.
its on a 95 electra, so the cost of repairs vs the cost of the unit are a potential hangup, but any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
thanks, Jim
