Sealing Roof Leak

If all the doors and windows are closed, it should pressurize the rv enough to find the leak. Have not tried this yet, but in theory it sounds like it should work. Good luck.

What is a good method for pressurizing the inside of a camper?

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Not sure what kind of roof you have alum or rubber. I have a EPDM rubber roof on my TT. I used Ames Research Maximum Stretch after a coat of primer. I bought their tape and tape the seams/joints/corners and coated over the top. Actually today I did the third coat and I would like to do 5. Essentially its liquid rubber that expands and contracts.I have no leaks! Google for the website.

I don't think this will work on a soft side popup truck camper. But thanks for the idea!
