Re: New Guy, need some advice please
WyoTraveler wrote: Like dutchmansport posted. Dico self leveling on horizontal surface. Clean with mineral spirits first and let dry. Very commn leak area is where the cap meets the roof. You could scrape old caulking off but probably not necessary. On vertical surface use Dicor non self leveling or proflex. Proflex comes in a few colors other than white. Bad large areas you can use eternabond tape. Newer product called stick n bond. I'm the kind of guy who likes to do things right the first time to avoid having to do it again later. I understand rooves require maintenance. I was lucky to even catch the leak this early. If I were to use the eternabond, I should clean the old off and install it, right? There is, what I would call, a turn bar where the cap and rubber meet. This is where all the old gunk is located. Would I scrape the old stuff off, pull the turnbar, clean and prep the surface, install butyl tape to the turnbar, lay my eternabond, reinstall my turnbar, and finish it with dicor? Afterwards, I would continue with the interior and inspect the ceiling and walls to see if anything needed replaced. This TT needs to last me several years so doing things complete and thoroughly are very important to me. All your help and guidance is appreciated!197Views0likes0CommentsNew Guy, need some advice please
Just found this forum and I'm pleased that there seems to be some good activity here.I'm sure you have seen many people here before that asked the same questions that I'm going to ask.I have recently purchased a 2006 Gulfstream Cavalier FEMA trailer. I've done some searching on here, but can't really find what I'm looking for. The first thing I wanna go tackle is the roof leak I found today. Its near the front where the metal wraps from the front to the roof and meets the rubber...hope that makes sense...What is the best way to clean off all that old thick sealant without damaging the rubber part of the roof. It looks to be original and super thick. Its just cracked and needs to be redone. Any other tips or things I should look for while I'm weather proofing the outside? Thanks for your help!1.9KViews0likes6Comments
