Buying your first RV is both an
intimidating and exciting process. When you bought your first RV you did form a
mental picture of enjoying camping and travelling for many years to come. As RV
is a long-term investment you want it to last longer. One of the most frequent
issues with RV’s as they age is leaks. Water is quite sneaky and almost always
finds its way in if given enough time.
Causes: When it
comes to leaks, roof is the most vulnerable part. RV roof spring leak
gradually. The roof should be strong enough to bear environmental damage and
light enough to not to become structural burden. Whether RV Roof is made up of
rubber, metal or polymer it still can be damaged in different ways. Mostly
leaks are found around vents, skylights and around the edges where the roof
meets the wall.
Most common causes of RV
leaks are:
- Sun light exposure
- Rain, Snow, Hail
- Falling limbs
- Wear & Tear
- Dirt & Debris
- Extreme temperature changes
Expert
solution: One cannot avoid sunlight or storms but you can do things to
make your RV roof much tougher and stronger to bear nature strong forces. If
there are holes in the roof you can fix them with some liquid sealant or glue
but that will be a short term solution. The long-term approach is to apply a
protective coating that will withstand and sustained damage in the future. Liquid
RV Roof coatings are cost effective based on their longevity and many benefits.
Liquid RV roof provides protection against harsh weather conditions, reflect
UV-rays and prevents water leaks and punctures. It can be easily applied over
different roof surfaces like metal, wood, rubber and polymer with the help of
roller or squeegee.
