- This is part 2 and the final part of the Weekend Warrior rotten roof and wall repair. I tried to show just the highlights and there are a surprisingly amount of steps necessary to put this trailer back together again. Also, I was using expanding foam as a quick adhesive to try after discovering the manufactured home industry has been using it for years to secure drywall so I thought I'd try it too. It works well, but still made a mess on my clothes.

Great job, as usual. That’s got to be the most expensive “air compressor “. 😀
It's a multipurpose tool
Your budget rebuild was better quality then some other shops permanent fixed that I've seen. As always your attention to detail and quality of workmanship is always enjoyable to watch.
Thank you Joe
Another great video! I was cracking up watching this one. Normally I'm home in Salinas California wondering how hot it is there. Right now I'm on vacation, camped at a RV park in Cottonwood so I can take my wife to Sedona. Now I know how hot it is. DAMN!!!! Extra bonus points for you doing this in the spring heatwave.
Ooh Sedona is fantastic! I love it up there. If you like hiking, Check out the West Fork Trail
Looks great James. I am sorry, I didn't know that you were just ribbing your friends. I believe you are the last person on the planet to find out how handy the WAGOs are. Steve S had some good suggestions on how to make them more secure. I have had the levers open when stuffing them back through a hole.
Good to know!
Love the wago connectors...even the generic ones a little better...SUGGESTION: use electrical tape around the levers on the connector to keep them from pulling up and I zip tie (thin zip ties) the wires about an inch down from insert holes in the wago connectors to bunch them together....helps ensure the wire stays in place....just my 2 cents worth...great connectors!!!
Thanks for the good ideas on how to make the WAGOs more secure. I have had the levers open when stuffing them through a hole.

Good tip
WOW, bet your glad to see that one outta the shop! I'm sure the owner will really appreciate your attention to the details-on-the-cheap.....
They really did
I was looking for videos to help with renovation of my German built Hymer motorhome. You're channel is great! Big thumbs up from N. Ireland!!
Thanks for watching! :)
Yikes. James, you are a great worker, bringing RV dreams back to life. Happy trails!
Thanks for watching!! :)
Don’t be a moldy causality. Follow the AZ except. Knowledge is power,
that will save you many dollars and any questions, give AZ Expert a holler.
Thanks for watching! :)
Nice work James. I’m sure your friend is appreciative.
Absolutely
A quality repair for sure....like it never even happened. As a retired GC, I get how much work it really is...bravo.
Thanks for watching! :)
Ooooooo, we like the razzzzin, when it's just in fun, and no one gets their feeeeelings hurt! We love you ALL! 😁🙃😱🤪😆🤣👍✌
But, you do need to build a nice trailer to go along with your new repair! ONID! 😁🤣👍✌
LOL
You do a great job with these repair jobs...Thanks for sharing...
You bet
You killed this James! Please please please do more videos like this!!! Man I'd love to see you fix the interior on it too!!! A lot of people are in this situation and have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks for watching! :)
Sir, you are amazing. You did a great job.
Again james another quality job with what you had to work with. My past life I was a roofing contractor and you do understand water and how it flows! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! :)
Another awesome job, James. I'm am envious of your skill set. And you didn't fall off the roof, good times! Lol
Thanks for watching!
I continue to be amazed by the breadth of knowledge required to do what this man does. I wish I knew a third of what he knows.
Thanks for watching! :)
You're videos are awesome. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge.
Thanks to you my future plans have changed and will work out better for the retirement/full-time lifestyle.
Greatly appreciated.....🍻✌😎
James, that looked really good. I know that's exactly what I need on my travel trailer on both front and back. Thanks for the instructions, you make it easy to understand. Thanks for the video!
You're very welcome Bob!
I'm handy and it's nice to see how all this crap is put together. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching how you take what seems to be an insurmountable amount of damage into quick work. I understand that it’s actually a bunch of planning and experience but I feel that folks with a little handyman experience can handle something like this. Thanks for your contributions to rv repairs.
Thanks for watching! :)
I love all the information you give! Thanks man
My pleasure!
From tech point of view you did everything and then some to prolong the use of this unit. I like how you used a 1in staple to put the back wall together I got a kick out of the comment in the last video "put it back together like it was built" hahaha I have never herd any truer words spoken. even though I do this all day 5 days a week I thoroughly enjoyed the content you put out and honestly it gives me some ideas for the work that I do which I appreciate!!
Thanks for watching! :)
Better than factory. A job well done, sir.
Thanks Noel
And your friends should be very appreciative!!!
I'm sure they are
Very good to work. Amazing to watch. Right tool for the right job! Lots of tips and tricks for sure! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! :)
James you are incredible!
Thanks for watching!! :)
For a budget job I think it looks outstanding.
Thanks for watching! :)
Excited to see how this turned out. you're work is always very impressive! Thank you for your videos, you have thought me a lot about how RV's are built & the process of repairing them.
Thanks for watching!
Love ❤️ the work James. Definitely learning lots of stuff just from watching lots of your video. From Anchorage Alaska by the way nice motorhome you have.
Thanks Kim!
Holy God what a miracle of healing!!!
LOL thanks
I enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot about campers watching them. Has helped my wife and I rehab our 21 year old Dutchman Hybrid. Our first camper and this is its 3rd season with us. Selling it the end of the season to upgrade to a bunkhouse.
I hope you enjoy the bunkhouse!
@@AZExpert I hope so too. Looking at he Apex Nano 194bhs.
awesome James thanks for all you do for us
Once again your fix is better than factory original 👍
Thanks for watching! :)
Looks great. Love these videos. You do great work
You’re the greatest. Very professional, even when told to do it cheap. Wish you were on the east coast.
Maybe some day!
Great videos James, don't stop razzing your friends
Never :)
Great video as always. Would love to see a vide on pulling out the AC unit (on roof) and filling the hole once AC is removed. I am going to install a mini split in my Cougar and mount on rear of 5th wheel. Have to have AC in Az.
Very nice work James , I'm no RV Mechanic but a pretty good back yard mechanic and that's an awesome job. By the way you make RV repair not so scary , thanks for educating the masses.
Thanks for watching! :)
I have to say... You definitely turned that sows ear into a silk purse!! 😱 GOOD JOB!!!
Thanks!
It is what it is James! Looks great.
Thanks for watching!
Great job you saved the day
Thanks Chris
Great job James. At least you did a great job for a cheap repair Some places might not have replaced all the wood or insulation.
They probably wouldn't
Very nice job James it will probably outlast the rest of the trailer lol I got Kenny from hillbilly rv starting to use the wago connectors
Thanks for watching!
Loved the fire
Me too!
Your videos have given me the information and confidence to fix a rotten roof corner and a delamination issue on my RV. It's very much appreciated, thank you!
Great to hear!
James, it's likely that you've been on more roofs this year, than Santa.
Keep them educational, informative and completely interesting videos coming.
Perhaps you should consider producing some for profit, indepth videos for those DIY RV owners who need abit more guidance?
Thanks for watching! :)
James you are the Mike Holmes of RV repair. I'm redoing an outdoor kitchen in my camper and you've been an inspiration to "do it right" !
Thanks so much! That's a real compliment
Looked good enough to sell. You need to get a Chad to talk to there. Stay safe and healthy Sir.
Chad has enough to do on his own--If I needed help and he was able, he would help
@@AZExpert I meant get your own Chad, like the old joke "we are going to need another Timmy" sorry was not worded well. Maybe you never watched the Dinosaurs animated show. sorry bad joke especially when it went like a lead balloon.
Wow learned a lot thanks for sharing! You make it looks so easy! If I hadn't seen you do it I wouldn't of had a clue any of the previous damage was ever there fantastic job! I hope your buddy take good care of you! Look forward to seeing what's next!
Thanks for watching! :)
That’s the best looking budget fix ive ever seen, I worked for an RV dealer for 8 years and we rebuilt lots of units, lot harder than it looks on camera for sure
Thanks! It was definitely a challenge
Good job, it looked like a hard job to me but you made it look easy, 👍
Thanks for watching!
Everyone deserves to have a friend like James
Thanks Ken :)
You always make it look easy. Great Job!
Thanks for watching! :)
Like magic!
Thanks for watching! :)
IMHO you are a miracle worker! Thanks for educating us wannabe's.
Thanks for watching! :)
Very good job sir we enjoy watching your videos!!! 🤗
Thanks for watching! :)
Looks great!!
Thanks!
Outstanding work. You are a great friend James. Your "budget" job is likely superior to most RV service center repairs for certain... plus I love the eternabond humor at the the end 😄
Wow, thanks!
True craftsman - you make it look so easy outstanding work !!!!!
Thanks Don!
Great Job James.
Thanks Tim
Fun to watch a fearless expert in action. No challenge seems too great and it seems you get them done quickly. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for watching!
Great job! The old toy hauler will live to haul another season.
Thanks for watching! :)
Nice neat job James! ☮️
Thanks 👍
That turned out better than i thought but then again every thing you touch turns to gold !

Thanks for watching! :)
I like how this dude makes it look easy😀
Thanks for watching!
Dude, ..... it looks FANTASTIC! A+ for you! 👍👍
Thanks for watching! :)
AWESOME BROTHER!!!
From Massachusetts
After watching, this made me feel confident that when I did mine it was correct. Ended up with a full TPO replacement. Uses Eternabond tape along any roof Penetrations. Vents I sloped up eternabond to prevent water extrusion. I think gluing it down would be the only thing I would change. Not super happy with the product used.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment
What a nice rebuild Ez you make it look so easy and with only using 1 hand. I know those Weekend Warriors
will really apricate it . Thanks again for letting me tag alone !
Thanks for watching Jeff! :)
That was very a very ugly mess, and I had my doubts, but you made it look pretty good. It looks to be very serviceable now. Thanks for taking us in this journey. Not only does it educate us, but it broadens our horizons about what can be done. I also appreciate you not only showing the techniques you used, but also the materials you used. Both of these videos - the beginning of the repair, and the finishing up are extremely valuable. Highly recommended.
Thanks!
Very nicely done! That repair will out last the trailer. Love watching these how to's on what is unfortunately a disposable rv world we live in now. Is there an RV out there now that will last more the 15 years that doesn't have a 7 figure price tag?
Used ... but youll have to work on it...lol...
You can tell it's HOT in AZ... I Wish butyl would come off like butter like that... Or filon would bend without cracking. Good job.
My only keyboard warrior critique... Even open air situation I'd recommend wearing a mask or respirator when applying that glue.
Probably
Great video, looks good. Thanks James
Thanks for watching! :)
Turned out nice. Good to have a friend like you!
Thanks for watching! :)
Always the best.
Thanks for watching! :)
I really do like your videos, thanks for the effort.
Thanks for watching! :)
Great video. Thank you.
Nice repair James, I enjoy your channel although I don’t own a RV.
Thanks 👍
You are a freaking artist! Also, perhaps I'm mistaken but it appears that you got a new phone for recording. The footage is looking even more crisp!
It's the same one, but thank you!
Thank you for your videos. I hope I never have to do what you do but it's nice to have a good teacher.
Thanks for watching! :)
Nice work as always!!!
Thanks Robert
Very nice repair. Great job.
Thanks for watching! :)
Bro!!! That’s amazing 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! :)
Had a coachman class c the whole overhead was rotten wood , started out a couple boards and ended up a bunch of replacement wood. There was a y tube video of a couple that bought a old class c and gutted it, never saw them rebuilt it
I see a lot of gutted units
Thanks for the video and repair insights...
Thanks for watching! :)
You are phenomenal!
You ARE! Thanks for watching!
Howdy James!!!! Always enjoy each new video as it comes out! Love your sense of humor too! Keep up the great work & take care of yourself!!
Thanks Ken
I enjoy watching your videos. I would love to see you do one where you list what you think are the best brands , new and used, in terms of quality. As in, the ones you don’t see troubling trends and a need for frequent repairs. The best built. The best manufacturers in each category: Class A, B, C, fifth wheels and trailers. That shouldn’t take you too long to prepare, right? Nor any grief from people who disagree with you, right? I know, I know. But it would be great to know what you think given all your valuable experience and expertise.
Looks darn nice 👌
Thanks for watching! :)
You do great work bud!
I appreciate that!
Looks fantastic
Thanks for watching! :)
Wow, very impressive !! Great job.
Thank you! Thanks for watching! :)
Nice work! I love that you explain much of it. I feel with this information I could at least do a vent correctly. Your years of experience show.
Glad it was helpful!
That's incredible
Thanks for watching! :)
James your patch will probably outlast that trailer and both of us. Lol
Thanks for watching! :)
Great job!
Thanks for watching! :)
Nice job 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! :)
Great job and video. I'm getting ready to fix some areas on either side of the cabover on my 88 27-foot Mallard. I learn a lot watching your videos.
Excellent! Thanks for watching! :)
