Ensuring a Safe and Dry Journey on the Road

Your RV is more than just a vehicle; it's your home on wheels. Just like any home, it needs maintenance to remain a comfortable and safe space. One of the most overlooked yet critical areas for upkeep is the roof. A leaking RV roof can lead to a myriad of problems, from water damage to mold growth. In this article, we'll explore the importance of resealing your RV roof and guide you through the process.

What is Roof Resealing?

Roof resealing is the act of applying a new sealant layer to the roof of your RV. This sealant acts as a waterproof barrier, preventing moisture from seeping into your RV. Over time, the existing sealant can wear off, crack, or peel away, leaving your roof vulnerable to leaks.

Why is it Important?

Protection Against Water Damage: The most immediate threat of a leaky roof is water damage. From the ceiling and walls to your appliances and furniture, water can wreak havoc inside your RV.
Mold and Mildew Prevention: A damp environment is a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can pose health risks.
Structural Integrity: Consistent water leakage can weaken the RV's structure, leading to expensive repairs down the line.
Energy Efficiency: A well-sealed roof can also improve the insulation of your RV, making it more energy-efficient.

Signs You Need to Reseal Your Roof

Cracks or peeling in the existing sealant
Water stains on the interior ceiling or walls
Unexplained musty odors
Physical water leaks during or after rain

Steps for Resealing Your RV Roof

Inspection: The first step is a thorough inspection of your RV roof. Look for any signs of wear and tear or damaged sealant.
Cleaning: Before you apply new sealant, it's crucial to clean the roof surface thoroughly. A clean surface will ensure better adhesion for the new sealant.
Removing Old Sealant: Scrape off any old, damaged sealant carefully to prepare the surface for the new layer.
Application: Apply the new sealant as per the manufacturer's instructions, making sure to cover all seams, joints, and potential leak points.
Drying: Allow sufficient time for the sealant to dry and set, as recommended by the manufacturer.
Final Inspection: Once the sealant is dry, inspect your work to ensure complete coverage.

Types of Sealants

Selecting the right type of sealant is crucial. Silicone-based sealants are generally more durable and weather-resistant, while acrylic sealants might be easier to apply.

Whitlock Motors & RV - Where Our Name Means A Great Deal

First, I'd like to say. I did not purchase a vehicle or RV from here. I had the opportunity to meet the owner of this dealership. You can tell a lot about how a person is when you first meet them. The owner was just an amazing person. I am from out of town and was traveling through Cody. He and his wife recommended so many places to see and eat. They were some of the nicest, most down to earth people I have met. They made my trip out west, so much better. So, with my experience talking with them, I can only imagine how he runs the business and takes care of the customers that come through the door.

I was very pleased with the customer service. The staff was very patient and kind and it was obvious they liked working at Whitlock Motors. The service department was able to identify the problem with my car right away and fixed the problem. I would use them again in a heartbeat! I heartily recommend them on every level!

I can’t say enough good things about Whitlock motors service department. I had been dealing with a weird squeak in my car for over 2 1/2 years. I had many different parts replaced at different shops with the promise always “this will fix it”. I always drove off still hearing the sound. So disappointing to waste money and feel duped because I’m a woman. I told Brian my story. He kept my car over night, drove it around and figured the source of the noise. He then ordered the part and squeezed in the job as fast as he could. What a dream. ITS FIXED! Finally someone that didn’t say “it’s a phantom sound only you can hear”. I was treated like a valued customer. Brian is super patient and a good listener. I am so happy to have my car serviced at Whitlock motors. Woohoo
