Water Damage/Roof Leak
Hello,
I'm Gunter from Germany. This is my first post here after I found your forum.
We own a 2007 Zinger Travel Trailer that is located in Florida.
We bought it in march when have been in the states the last time.
last week my buddy called and told me we have water running down the cabinet beside the bed. Seems to come from cracked caulking between cap and rubber roof.
He also said , that there where he located the crack the rubber roof is soft about feet around.
We arrive there on saturday and I have to repair the roof.
I will check for the soft spot and replace the osb, insulation...hope no more damage occured.. and seal this afterwards (Will get Dicor lap sealant and Eternabond).
My question is...how do I get the rubber away without damaging it?
The rubber should be ok. Is the rubber fixed under the cap or does it lap over the cap and is sealed then?
Can I use the rubber again or does the membrane have to be replaced in this spot?
Think here are lot of experienced campers that can give the newbie an answer.
Thank you
Gunter
