Bad storms and trees

I carry a roll of Eternabond tape for emergency leak use, as well as a few tubes of sealer/glues like Marine GOOP, Dicor, etc. Eternabone can also be used to temporarily fix leaks in water or waste tanks, drain pipes, or even pressurized fresh water lines with suitable clamps over the leak.

I use Eternabond. Use a piece the size of the problem!

Living in the middle of tornado alley, where big thunderstorms are frequent for a 3-4 month season, I keep my RV in its storage shed when storms are forecast. We do our RVing and camping in the lulls between the storms.

Still, I've been caught, and even not being under large trees, I've had branches blow onto the top of the RV. Since my roof is a fiberglass sheet, most I've gotten is scratches. The storms that take apart these trees are often 50-80 mph wind gusts, the branches don't fall straight down, making it really hard to pick a spot in a forested campground.

Our commercial RV parks tend not to be forested, for storm reasons. Trees are more popular in public campgrounds where campers need the shade, but they also don't go out and set up their tents when thunderstorms are forecast.

I saw on the weather channel and ya'll had a bad afternoon there. Hopefully no one was hurt..

Same here. Only needed it once, but good to have when you do need it.

We do not carry any accident repar for the roof. If something happens, I will get something to make sure no water leaks happen until I can actually fix the problem .

I learned the hard way to take it in to the shop, spend my $100 insurance deductible and have it repaired professionally.
I little nick can cause massive damage to your roof.

Eternabond is so reasonably priced for the peace of mind it provides. I've used it to repair minor tears on my roof many times. If it's done right, it'll last as long as the rest of roof. Gorilla Tape would work in a pinch too.

We are fulltimers and carry repair stuff with us. And we avoid trees.

I carry a partial roll of Eternabond tape for emergency use. :)
