One of the most neglected areas of an RV is also likely the most important: the RV\u2019s roof. The roof of an RV is out of sight, which often means it\u2019s out of mind. With your RV, be sure to keep its roof in mind.<\/p>\n
These recreational rigs are behemoths in every aspect: they offer you tons of fun, tons of versatility, and they also offer you the potential of a huge headache and lots of stress.<\/p>\n
Any RVer who takes good care of their RV\u2019s roof will have an RV that lasts for years and that is typically low maintenance, less stress, less of a headache, and lots of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t keep your RV\u2019s roof clean and consistently inspect its seams, then you\u2019re likely to end up with quite the costly repair. The main cause of costly RV repairs is water damage. The main way to allow your RV to be damaged by water is to have an RV roof that is not offering your RV proper protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid all of that headache and stress by inspecting your RV\u2019s roof. When it comes to roof inspections, safety comes first: be sure that your RV\u2019s roof is able to safely support your weight before you climb on top of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If\nyou know your RV supports your weight, that\u2019s great and likely means you\u2019ve\ninspected it before, which is also great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For\nthose of you who\u2019ve never been on your RV\u2019s roof, you\u2019ll likely be able to tell\nit supports your weight by whether or not the RV is fitted with a ladder for\nroof access. An RV without a ladder likely means its roof is more fragile, so\nuse sheets of plywood and lay them across the roof to give the roof extra\nsupport and better weight distribution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOf course, you don\u2019t\nwant to cover the entire roof with plywood or else you won\u2019t have anything to\ninspect! So, use the plywood in small areas and move it as you inspect.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No\nmatter whether your roof is heavy-duty or not, tread lightly and cautiously\nwhenever walking on the roof. The last thing you want is to have to pay for a\nroof repair and for medical bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen on your roof, look\nfor small cracks and dry spots, while also keeping an eye out for any loose\ncaulking around joints, AC\u2019s, and vents. If you see any of these, then your roof\nrequires some repair-work and sealing, and your RV is at-risk for water damage.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlso, you can inspect\nyour RV for any signs of moisture or water damage by looking inside of the RV.\nCheck walls and ceilings for dark spots, cracks, or light peeking through the\nceiling; if light is peeking through the ceiling, then water can get through\nthere too. Any of the above signs point to a roof with a leak that requires\nsealing and some minor or major repairs.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When your RV\u2019s roof requires some minor to moderate repairs, a quality roof sealant offers you a convenient and easy solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take\na paintbrush and a can of the roof sealant to patch some smaller holes, cracks,\nand dry spots in your RV\u2019s roof to prevent any further damage to the roof or\nthe interior of your RV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
RV\nroof sealants provide water and UV ray resistance for the roof of your RV to\nprotect your RV\u2019s roof and interior from those bright, sunny days, dark rainy\ndays, or cold winter blizzards. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
