RV Ultimate Roof Maintenance Series - “How To Make Your RV Waterproof”

RV gives you the opportunity to travel and enjoy your leisure time with privileges; on the other hand it also puts on you the responsibility of taking care of it. One way to protect and maintain your RV is to apply best roof coating. The roof coating is always the part of efficient RV roof maintenance.

Before applying roof coating the first thing you have to decide is to make decision regarding whether you will do it by yourself or you will hire services of professionals. Professional roofing may cost you but their work comes with insurance and guarantees. Most of them will allow you to supply materials, so you can shop the market and purchase products at best possible price. If you decide to do it by yourself don’t get hurt, keep your safety as a priority.

Prior to buying any water proofing material consider a number of factors like roof surface of your RV and how the RV is utilized throughout the year. Most RV roofs are made up of metal, fiber glass or rubber, so make sure waterproofing material works on that surface.

Before applying waterproof coating clean and thoroughly wash the entire roof surface. Clean dirt, debris and any loose material from the roof surface. Use mild detergent and garden hose to wash the roof surface. Applying waterproof coating is not that difficult as it looks. Simply start with applying coating around the vents with brushes and then do the rest of the roof with nap rollers or squeegee. Let it dry and wait for 24-hours before going on your journey. Happy camping!
