Roof repair question/suggestions

[JoshuaH]

Was working in the camper yesterday and noticed a few water stains on the floor, somehow some water had leaked in. Figured out it came through the light in the ceiling towards the front. Got out the ladder and this is what I found, this damaged spot would be right above where the light is located.

What is the best thing to do here? I don't want to put a lot of money into this camper, it is a 2003 model, I'm hoping to get another 2 maybe 3 years use from it then I plan to replace it with something much newer. Any idea what this might cost to have it repaired at a shop? Anything I can do myself?

Thanks!

Looks like you can remove the old lap sealant, clean the area with turps and tape and re-seal. Eternabond comes in 6 inch widths which looks like what you need. For the record, that is one ugly hack job.

To verify that's your only issue, I recommend find someone near you that can run a seal-tech test on the camper.

X2. If that is the only problem, it appears to be a fairly easy fix.
