Aw man, have you ever checked on the RV during the winter and smelled that faint yet unfortunate odor of mildew or mold? Did you start worrying about your slide out seals, or the seals on the windows or doors? Or at that point did you look up and start wondering where the leak was. All those rivets and seams up on the roof are potential sources for leaks, or even just a small seep, which can cause that smell that smells expensive to fix. If your RV is stored out in the open, snow will provide a pretty long lasting source of water to trickle in, and needless to say if you’re storing it down here in the Gulf Coast portion of the country for the winter then all that rain will supply the moisture to feed the leak. So what can you do?
Dicor Roofing Systems provide an EPDM Rubber roofing material that can not only seal the roof of your RV but also reflect some of the heat and UV rays from the sun helping to make your RV more energy efficient. They come in rolls that are 9.4″ wide, the material is quite flexible, and can even be used to retrofit older RVs. As well as helping eliminate liquid leaks and adding insulation to the RV, when this is added to your roof, it dampens the vibrations in the roof material and helps deaden out that annoying roof rumble when you’re traveling down the road! The installation kit comes with everything you’d need to get it installed, from adhesives and sealants to the tape as well.
It sounds like a lot of work, but believe me installing this on your roof yourself, or hiring your local RV Service Center to do it for you will be far easier than removing everything to get to the interior of your RV roof and chasing down a seep!
