As soon as I heard you say " The onlyone putting on more-on IS a more-0n!" and then you badmouthed the manufactturer, I new that you were legit! - Thanks
Your videos are great. Very enlightening and informative. I am very impressed by your work. After doing a lot of research and partly from watching your videos, Ive seen how these are built. Since the aggravation seems inevitable, I decided to save myself a ton of money and just bought an older coach that already needs a roof. I am about to do a full tear down, repair and replace. Including new trusses and some skin. Wish me luck!
Good luck. Patience and staying organized will help. That along with tools and knowing what the hell your doing....lol. Don't tear out foam.
Besides luck... You'll need patience... Lol.
Thanks for watching.
Been watching roof repair videos for a week before I replace my own and your video was more informative then any other on you tube thanks
Glad we could help guide you. Thanks for watching.
Am going to have to rebuild mine this summer nobody where I live dose it right anymore so am watching and learning how to do it right away the frist time
I appreciate these videos, I’m getting quite the education at same time getting sick to my stomach trying to figure out how to raise the money to repair my 2006 Outback travel trailer that had a small roof leak. After watching videos like these I’m sure I will need a new roof and partial sidewall, possible front wall, was just quoted 10-15 thousand :( and I’m still paying on it, smh. (Divorce sucks!) I know it’s mostly labor which after watching these videos I completely understand. You guys did a beautiful job on this repair. I’m jealous lol. When I’m able to do the repair I will be better educated on what do and what products to use vs just taking their word for it. Thanks again. Really informative. I’ll continue to watch.
There is a lot of labor for sure. Keep it out of the weather. Thanks for watching.
How much did you spend on yours?
@@sparkywow1 I lucked out, my son in law took pity on me and offered to do the work replaced the interior bedroom walls, resealed the trim on the roof, used peel n stick wallpaper, which looked great and I made the decision to sell it and it sold in less than 24 hours with over 500 views! It’s a hot market for RV’s right now. So less than 500.00 in materials, and I gave him 1000.00 for labor and still made a profit. thank God for my son in law.
Wow,,, that's some great work love to see people taking pride in their work 👍👍👍👍
Thank you. We do take pride in our work but more importantly, we are honored that folks entrust us to do the work thoroughly and aim to make sure they get the quality work they pay for.
Another great job Joe. Can’t wait to get mine done sometime around May. Keith from SE Wisconsin. The Bighorn!,
Again, such great work! Thanks for sharing!
Yall so yall thing i aint gonna lie yall take pride in yall work the same as i do when detailing cars. And i love it definitely had to subscribe keep doing what you doing and thaks for taking the time to record it for us..
Thanks for the props, thanks for subbing and thanks for watching! Customers come too far for us to not pay attention to all the details. If they wanted crappy work they could get that locally.
Anyone else notice how much this guy sounds like Elvis Presley? It’s uncanny.
Fascinating stuff. Wish I had his expertise.
(2015 Keystone Cougar 1/2 ton Fifth Wheel - Purchased New)
A raven pecked away at the Dicor sealing the skylight above the shower, but I didn't notice it till the water was already dripping from the ceiling panel trim 3 panel joints back. The back wall is delaminated as well. I work for an architect and am very familiar with detailing roof curbs for commercial buildings. I will be replacing my roof membrane with the same upgrade you installed for this project. This video is truly GOLD for RV owners, THANKS! One more thing, Hydrogen Peroxide will kill black mold. Mix one quart with 2 gallons of water and use a weed sprayer to apply.
Thanks for the mold tip and thanks for watching. Btw.. there is a lance truck bed camper that had the roof eaten by vultures. Insurance paid for replacement.
I got a 1988 jayco designer series jaycrane 32 ft fifth wheel that needs a new roof and some other work done just wish y'all were closer.
Where is he?
Excellent presentation. Informative, educational and enlightening. Appreciate the information. Great job on video. Thank you.
Very welcome. We make the videos for the customer so they can see all what we did. It also helps other folks learn before they hire. At least they will know whatnot ask and see if the repair shop is qualified to do the work.
Thanks for watching.
Job on the roof. I wish every camper came like that that is beautiful job I need to know where you’re at so when mine starts to feel I can bring it in I want to Carlisle roof
These videos are awesome. Thank you
Wow!That was a lot of work.just wondering how much?
Thank you for getting back to me Sir.
All that rot in just three years…..crazy! Now I’m nervous of what I’m going to find under my 2011 Tiffin Allegro. Several soft spots and some leaking windows.
REALLY great videos, makes me very scared for the 2020 Jayco Melbourne I just bought... after watching a bunch of these seems like it is only a matter of time. Tremendous craftmanship shown in these videos. I hope I am never a customer, but if I am it looks like the fix will be done better than new! wish me luck. :(
Honestly, I would just take it to him right now. Or set an appointment. That's a good chunk of money to not be perfect. And It doesn't take long before they leak if not already..... Most all of them have an issue with the roof before they even leave the lot. Nobody will notice, until the damage is done. Now would be so much cheaper than later. Just my opinion, as hard as that may be to hear.
I will wish you luck with yours however, and I hope that it has absolutely no issues ever. I really do 🙏
I would love to see a company build for quality above making a killin'.
@@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet the roof is everything,when it is repaired correctly,life is grand,just like a strong sturdy house,roofs gone so is the insides
@@strattuner 100%! True story 👍
Thanks for watching.
Why don’t manufacturers offer this type of a roofing system as an option to upgrade? With campers being notorious for leaks I would gladly pay extra to know it was done right.
Very good workmanship. How much did it cost in 2019.
Please understand that we don't quote on social media. Thanks for watching.
@@RVROOFINSTALL fair enough I understand, just that I own an identical model to the one you refurbished and live in New Zealand, with aim of doing mine in the near future, so a rough ball park figure is my aim. Thanks for your replying.
What do you use instead of dicor?just trying not to be a "more on"
@@twheeler7747 Dicor is made by Carlisle Syntec...they manufacturer commercial roofs, however Dicor just wants the low budget stuff. Carlisle make a commercial grade lap sealant. You could get some Big Stretch and try it. It's water based, easy clean up. Just try one vent and check it in a couple few weeks to see how it does. We don't reseal those roofs at all. I have had good luck with the big stretch in other applications. It may not be Dicor. Some sealants have silicone in the and if yours does nothing will stick to it. Even silicone doesn't stick to silicone. There are a few variable and that's why we shy away from recommending product because if they don't perform you'd be upset with us. Those are a couple if you want to try them.
Thanks for watching.
Unbelievable this is 2019 😮 !!
Own a 2004 Jayco Designer and my roof plywood is delaminating and I want to replace rubber roof with T P O roofing. No leaks just spongy. I hate rubber roofs. My question is: in the video it appears that you only glue the deck not the new material. When I installed it on my other RV they recommended glue both surfaces.If you can only do1 surface this would be GREAT !!!!
Jayco is not the problem.Maintenance is. Early on the roof should have been at least annually inspected and preventive Eternabond sealant tape put on all the roof seams - edges, around all openings. This could be followed up by painting a RV rubber roof sealant as well. Any roof will leak with age and lack of maintenance. NOT a Jayco problem, they are very well built.
Yes maintenance is required, although we would not endorse any rubber coating. Coatings don't work on campers and RVs. We've showed this time and time again.
Sealing the windows, doors ,latches, light ,etc is a must.
Thanks for watching.
You all do an awesome job!! I am surprised that gloves and masks aren't worn when handling the fiberglass insulation.
you asked if I know about a better mold killer I suggest you try a product called cedar cide Made in the US and it's also a insecticide as well.
Thank you. I will look it up.
Merry Christmas.
@@RVROOFINSTALL I'm not all the way through all your videos yet, but curious if have looked into this cedar cide and/or if you've maybe had a chance to compare/contrast with your conchromium (spelling? -your mold killer spray).. either way, keep up he good work. You're an honorable person! :)
Super easy trailer rot repair hack:
1) go to gas station
2) buy appx. 300 gals. of gasoline
3) pour gasoline into trailer
4) light a book of matches, throw into trailer
5) collect insurance check
DONE!
Excited for y'all to get to mine! You do excellent work. Looking forward to watching the video of mine if you end up recording some footage! Thanks y'all!
We record all of them, just from time to time we get a corrupt file that won't download. We'll get you fixed up sir.
Good Work ! Thank You ! See You Soon
I think it would help your viewers if you would give us a tally of things. Man hours, recommended roof sealants to use. Time this rig spent at the shop, was this an insurance job. Type of screws to use, trim type you use. Your work is outstanding!
These videos are really not DIY videos. They are out together for the customer. That's one if the reasons there are no ads. We don't make a dime off the videos, we are not trying to be CZcams stars...lol. all the info you suggest would really take more time to add than we have. We simply video, pull the clips and post. Very little editing. Again that's why we don't have a fancy intro.
Thanks for understanding and thanks for watching!
Man yall are awesome i need to bring mine to yall how much would a 23ft pilgrim 06 196 wiuld be? My satellite part fell in and is making a pond i sealed it but its no good until it gets fixed. But i know yall booked up for a while so i have to learn this.
We dont quote on social media , But you are more than welcome to call the office and we can work you up a estimate . 423-475-7663. Thanks for watching
You have great video and you do excellent work. Can you tell me what brand of glue do you uses between fiberglass wall and Luan backing? Thank you
Depends...mainly we use 3m94 but if your not applying it correctly it will eat the foam. If glueing to luan it'll be fine. Expensive... but it works. Thanks for watching!
My 19 foot 1995 Thor Chateau needs similar repairs - so much work it’s almost unbelievable. And I’m in the trades but this is somethin’ else I’ll tell ya.
I’d really like to know about how much it cost the customer in the video. In my trade I take the same pride and know the value of quality work like you do there. Curios about how much as I am new to campers as of two weeks ago. I’d like to take mine down to you if I can make it.
Thanks so much!
My wife and I were thinking about purchasing a Jayco, but after watching this video, we will be going to another brand.
They're all the samr
I've worked in construction for about 22 yrs doing kitchen and bathroom remodels. Is this something u would recommend to have professionally done or could someone with a little construction experience and common sense could handle?
There is a lot...and I mean a lot, of detail to pay attention to. I would not recommend someone try to tackle an RV, that said, these RV centers and shops I see shouldn't be doing them either. Ask anyone the number 1 issue with their camper and I'll bet it's roof leaks, despite being repaired or replaced. They are also time-consuming. You would need to have scaffolding to do the job properly. You'll wear your ass out.climbing up and down a ladder all day, trying to hold tools, walking across a plank without rails and bouncy.
That's my advice. I'm a GC by trade, and I have installed a restaurant roof quicker than some RVs.
Thanks for watching.
@RVROOFINSTALL thank you for your feedback and your video was very helpful and informative with the information I was looking for I appreciate your craftsmanship bc having some pride in your work is a dying character trait now a days...
Wow I was thinking of take a part the roof cover, but I see now the problem, the time and the tools I will need, and as a woman 👩 I don't think that I can make it 😔 now I'm just asking how much a company like yours charged for this jib?? 😪
Thank you for your interest. You would need to give us a call so we can give you pricing... 423-475-7663
Thanks again.
Great video. Lots of insight into what lies beneath. But it begs the question what does a job like this cost? I can't even ballpark it. Anybody have an idea?
Since you don't like dicor etc. , What sealants do you recommend to prevent leaks to roof , vents , fans , and RV sides , I don't like the dicor either just want something to work and last a while , enjoyed the video , lets me know how things are actually made , of which inturn I can try to protect my investment.
As far as mold kill goes, try RMR-86!!!
How much was the final bill for all this work
Great job !!!
Thanks for watching.
I’ll find the best mole killer by far is RMR 86 mold and stain remover. It literally disappears in front your eyes.
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.
RMR 86 is sodium chlorite... essentially bleach. Bleach will kill mold on non porous surface such as countertops and shower walls...even on painted wood. However bleach does not have the need amount of surfactant to penetrate deep into the pores of wood or drywall. Concrobium is chemically designed to sleep and suficate the mold spores by shrinking the pores... essentially squeezing...so the pores die. Bleach by a other name would be .... whitener. It will whiten or discolor the mold on porous surfaces but won't reach deep enough to the root.
I do a lot of research on the products, their intended use design and limitation to make sure we have the right product for the entailed project and elements the project will undergo.
Thanks for the tip just the same. It gave me some homework...lol
Thanks for watching.
On the outside of the camper . Do you reuse the old fiberglass sides or get new
Awesome work looks like repair costs would be more than camper would be worth
Even if you got a new camper.... It would be coming through this shop for a roof. The roofs on the new ones are no good. Get em built, get em out, get em sold is their motto.
Thanks for watching.
@@RVROOFINSTALL I’ve just came across your videos I started watching the roof you guys put on looks really good awesome video’s great work really like the way you bring stuff to customers you find to do the job right
@@roberthartley1033 Thank you , and thanks for watchimg !!
How do the interior garnishes look when you raise up the vents and AC? Are the bolts long enough to tighten the AC gasket to the curb?
Good questions. We use taller garnishments to cover any framing. The vents look like they do now..or did. We also use longer bolts for the AC.
Thanks for watching!
It boggle my mind how the manufacturers still get away with such shoddy work/craftsmanship. I'll NEVER buy a new unit because of it. You buy a new car for $40,000 and you can reasonable expect 10+ yrs with little maintenance. (20+ years with a little more maintenance) Buy a $40,000 trailer and be happy you get 3-5yrs before it needs a $12,000 repair job. How do they justify that much anyways?! It's not like there is any R&D into these things. They've just copied the designs over the years. No engine or other complicated mechanical parts... and they build it with the cheapest parts available. Sorry, for the new buyers, but thanks for the secondhand units! Thanks for the video. REAL eye opener!
How much did you charge for a job like that?
VERY impressive video! Thank you! I bought a 2006 Jayco 29BHS trailer with known roof issues a couple of months ago. I'm a retired contractor and pretty handy so I figured for the price I paid I can fix the roof. Although you said this isn't a DIY video I want to thank you so much for the detailed images and verbal descriptions of the construction of these trailers. Looks like I have a project ahead! Was a little surprised at your comments re; Dicor. RV forums seem to have a high opinion of Dicor and I used a tube of their caulk to seal obvious leaks as a temporary measure. It worked well. Can you recommend better sealants? Can TPO be pieced in, ie; do 1/4 of the roof with new? Most of my roof seems sound. Hah!
I bought a 19 foot trailer with a known water issue years ago. I stopped the leaks but need to fix similar issues to what’s shown in the video. I’m thinking of doing all the wood and insulation repair and then bring it to have the pros put the roof membrane on. The main reason we bought it was to live in it for a summer as we built a place.
Whats the cost in something like this job? Just mainly the roof? What can I expect to spend, average?
I have a 1999 holiday rambler bumper pull camper that has roof damage an water damage in the camper need help getting repair work done
Give us a call. 423-475-7663. Thanks for watching.
Woo I'm dreading the up coming work for my 01 keystone tailgator 210rr the escape window leaks , the roof leaks in the shower and the paneling is not in good shape. And I cracked the tub a few weeks ago when I dropped the shampoo. The door frame leaks. I'm expecting it to cost at least $2k and that's for me to do it myself. I think I'm going to have to hire someone smaller than myself to help with the roof since I'm 6'7" 320#
Well big feller....it was the shampoo bottle???...there's always the keto diet!....Lol!
Thanks for watching.
I live in the FTW Texas area. Are there any good repair shops in the area you could recommend?
Do you have to remove deck and joist to install ceiling panels?
The ceiling panels cit kn the wall and the cabinets. We replace ceiling panels from the top, removing the trusses. If you opt to try to do it from inside you would ha e to cut around the edge of the wall and cabinets and your new piece is going to have to be exact or your going to need to install some molding. The molding won't match, and you'd be forced to do the entire coach to make it look proper. Also. Why would you need to replace the ceiling panel? Must've gotten wet. If that's the case, you need to check the framing and roof deck for damage. If it's wet, it needs to be opened up and blown dry fans. It will never dry out unless you open it up. Trapped moisture can breed mold. Once opened, it needs to be sprayed with kold kill. So, to answer your question, the proper way would be from the roof to replace the ceiling.
Thanks for watching.
What roof caulking would you recommend? I'm doing several repairs to an older carson fun runner and was going to use dicor but after seeing this I'll look for something else.
He likes M1 from cemlink I found it on amazon.
Chemlink M-1 is great and the primer
How much does a job like this cost?
Do you know of anyone in California who does as good work as well as you?
We are the only company that installs these roofs anywhere. We designed them and have yet to train another shop. We are looking into training other shops.
Thanks for watching.
What type of sealant should be used instead of the dicor
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Could you tell me where I can get the roof trim that protects better please. I was going to fill the track up with silicone but you mentioned a style trim that did a better job. Thanks. Great video. Such a shame Jayco has such poor quality control.
First you need to measure the track. You can do a search online for ...vinyl insert trim. AP products makes insert trim as well. Johnson surplus supply. A marine supply place may have some as well We special order the insert we use. We had to buy 10,000 feet of it. You should back the screws out and get a dob of caulk behind the screw heads-up anyway
Thanks for watching.
Do you have a good video for repairing or replacing RV ceiling that delaminates. It's 15 years old. No water stains, but delaminted.
Ceiling panels come out from the roof side. That's the easiest way we do them.
What’s the name of the track sealer you use. That covers the screws .
How much did this repair cost?????
I rip the roof off to the braces.
I put down new plywood.
Then I put a tourch down roof
Last 15 yrs.
Hahahahahahaha.... You is DA MAN!
What did you use for mold killer. Just keep reading people saying bleach or vinegar. Are the branded products any better?
We use mold control with consortium available at Home Depot. Look up concrobium. I know there are a lot of concoctions, but from what I have learned about concrobium, it seems to be the best solution.
Thanks for watching.
How much did this sort of repair work end up costing?
a question you seldom see answered.
On a RV this size, $5-$10k at a shop. I’ll do it for $3k. No warranty lol.
What brand travel trail is best constructed it seams like no matter what with rvs your battling water damage
They're all the same. Take the decals off and you wouldn't know one brand from another.
Thanks for watching.
What kind of insulation did you use on the exterior walls that have a silver surface.
Thats easy..they used fibre glass wool attached to an aluminized paper backing, same as what you would use for a house , from big box stores .
i wish i have watched your video before buying a jayco, i just bought a used one and worried that i might get a lot of work and money to keep it running. I do have a question: how do i know if my RV was leaking or about to leak? appreciate it, I did not see anything unusual, and surely did not clearly see in this RV but as soon as you open the roof, it is trouble! Do you have service in WA?
No we do not service in WA. This is our only shop. Inspect the caulk thoroughly. Use a butter knife to go around the caulk edges to see if it's loose. If there are any cavities in the caulk they need to be sealed. Inspect the boot on the crank up antenna. Inspect the caulk on top of the gutter rail. Inspect all windows, doors, latches, lights and handles to make sure they are sealed. Inspect the plumbing base. If you have the one that has the 3 legs look inside to see if it is sealed under the leg on the inside of the cap. Don't wait to see stains on the ceiling. Once that happens you have bigger problems. When the roof leaks the deck and framing absorb the water....then the insulation and when it reaches the ceiling that panel will absorb what it can before it finally comes through. So really once you notice a ceiling leak everything above it is soaked and probably rotted. It will never dry out unless it gets opened up. I've had coaches in my bay for a few months before we could get to them and they were still wet when we opened them up. Chemlink makes product called Duralink 50. You could try that instead of the crappy Dicor. It may be compatible but I have never gone over Dicor with it to test it.
Thanks for watching!
What is your preferred lap sealant that lasts?
@@brunorios7223 we don't use lap sealant. If we did id recommend Rapid or Sila at Home Depot. However, caulk fail on membranes because the membrane needs to be primed wherever caulk will be applied / contact. You can find membrane primers online or at your local commercial roofing supply store. Any membrane primer will work.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot for information and honesty
What do you suggest is the best alternative for using decor to re seal seams ?
Dicor is made by Carlisle Syntex. Carlisle makes a commercial lap sealant. But any commercial grade lap sealant should work. Dicor is loaded with petroleum distillate that cause it not to stick. They admit there is distillates on their site, but they claim the distillate will evaporate off. Petroleum distillate is the slickness you feel when you have gas or diesel on your fingers.
There also isn't any properties in the Dicor that I could find, that thwarts UV light. So essentially sun's UV rays cause the product to dry out prematurely causing cracks that open up. A quality caulk shouldn't need reapplication every few months. It's Doctor's cash cow!
Use some metal roof screws in there determinate are you getting the trim and you don’t even have to use that rubber in their seven years
Don’t save any of it rip it all out Christ I would do that even if I lost money because I wouldn’t want my name on it go down the road get a big snow load and it falls in this is jump dude I’m amazed that you can fix it And I’m proud of you if you don’t just put a Band-Aid on it
I’ve been watching a lot of repair videos lately and not sure if I would buy new.
They depreciate worse than a car, build quality is getting worse. I don't own one. We get some that customers are selling from time to time...we pass them along. We have a class C and a bumper pull 30 ft both with new roofs.
Couldn't catch the name of the mold kill product you use, would you post the product name?
Concrobium. I get it at Home Depot. It's almost twice the price if mold control....about 38-40$$. I always do 2 sprays just to be sure.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome job . What type of glue do you use to put the fiber back on outside wall
You can use 3m90 available at Home Depot. Thànks for watching!
He did not say what he used.
So I have a personal coach class c, yes the front bunk is “rottted” and in the rear room the roof is also “rottted” to the point that it’s about a whole panel sagging down from the ceiling. So since I’m planning on doing all the work myself where should I start? Fix the walls and ceiling or do the roof then ceiling and walls? Thanks love the videos!
I would open up as much as I could to get things to dry out. Tear the roof off. Get the fiberglass off or loose enough to get air in to dry and mold kill. While all that is drying you can rebuild the bunk
Thanks for watching.
RV ROOF INSTALL it’s all dry it’s had heaters running with blowers and a dehumidifier. I just wasn’t sure where to start. Plus I don’t have a shop so I’ll be working on it outside. Thanks!
What kind of mold killer do you use?
It's called mold control. At Home Depot... Comcrobium.
Thanks for watching.
Wow! I have a 2013 Sierra Travel trailer. I was lucky that they took a measure of pride building it. That's not saying it had no problems. I have found a good amount of issues due to them using cheap material and incorrect materials. Fortunately my floor is real plywood, not sure how that happened, probably all they had that day. Some other incomplete stuff I found such as missing floor joist and I believe they failed to finish the duct work in the ceiling the same as your video. My back wall needs rebuilt and I would like to have a new membrane. Aluminum frame in walls, except the rear. Very little defamation existing, only around the water heater, which has leak has been resolved. How can I reach you?

Please video the 2019 Jayco when you get to it. I have a 2017 Jayco and they have already replaced two slide out roofs under warranty.
It's on its way! Lol. Hopefully today. She pulled the clips from the camera.
Thank you so much for the videos you do, I’ve learned so much about RV construction from you. One thing I would like to mention is RVs need to be stored with some kind of cover. The climate and weather (expanding and contracting) can cause leaks. If the unit is stored in the open, the leak can go unchecked for several months. I had a shed built for mine before I purchase it.
@@gregwalker731 good advise. Our roofs are all commercial, that being said, you don't see commercial buildings with covers. But every bit is of extra cover us definitely a plus.
Thanks for watching!
RV ROOF INSTALL your right, your roof wouldn’t need a cover. I was speaking of the factory RV roof. I don’t trust them and keep my unit covered.
I have a travel trailer star craft,that has soft spots on the roof,how can I have you repair it
We wouldn't repair as in patch it. We would put a new roof in it. Depending on the year it may or may not be worth it to you. Roofs are literally the most expensive replacement on any RV, camper, coach. The sad part is that even the new ones leak and if they don't right out the gate they will very shortly, despite the claim of a 10 or 29 year roof the salesman will tell you.

@@fredypabon8171 I can't recommend anyone because no one does our roofs except us. I designed them. But you have some structural issues that need to be addressed. I think you have a plyfoam roof if I remember right. Take the square plastic piece off the ceiling in the roof vent. Look inside and you may see white foam and not regular batten insulation. If you do have the foam you need to re-adhefe it all back.
Sir why don't people do closed cell spray foam insulation in while the roof is off?
Expensive....very expensive. Plyfoam is a design if the roof...just winging it with spray foam is not. Lol it's to consider spraying over that you may need access to later. Then the clean up...not worth spray foaming a camper.
Thanks for watching.
What glue do you use
Show your products you use, caulk, sealer etc
M1 made by cemlink
I’d put fire stop foam around all those wires coming to the roof. I’m watching this because I have a 19’ where it leaked to the floor so a whole front corner needs rebuilding. I’d like to know what all this work costs to see if it worth having the work done. I can see to do it right scaffolding needs to used.

Why would you need fire caulk? That's only used in firewalls, chimneys and stove pipes to prevent a the fire spread, or retard a flame.
@@RVROOFINSTALL I live in Alaska so that wouldn’t work. Thanks for contacting me though.
@@RVROOFINSTALL I would use fire seal spray foam that would prevent the wires from chafing. It also prevents moisture coming into the roof cavity. I have built a few homes and do this for energy conservation as wire holes in walls make a chimney for convection.
@@Chris_at_Home I'm a GC myself. It's expensive and unless someone asks for specifically we will use rigid foam or batten. Whichever we can get nowadays.

Subscribed!! Love your videos! My wife and I are buying a 1998 Sierra 29ft Camper. Planning on taking off and replacing the insert trim, which insert trim would you recommend. From Wisconsin Thank you! P.S. .. We are planning on living in it full time with our 3 kids.
That's an old coach. Watch the videos we have on ultra lite or super lite...can't remember the title...but I go over how to do a preliminary inspection. Beware that class c bunks are known to leak and rot. We have done a slew of them.
Dx-946-1w is the white we use. So products has some as well.
Thanks for watching!
@@RVROOFINSTALL Thank you for your fast response! I made a mistake, it's not a camper it's a travel trailer.
@@withrootsandeverything3460 the video I mentioned is a TT toy hauler. Watch it. You'll see.
What's the typical new roof cost for most customers?
How much was something like that in $$ roughly
Apologies for the late reply. Mr. Michael, we don't quote on social media. But usually replacement is more than the value of the coach, depending on year, model etc...but far cheaper than replacement of the coach.
Thanks for watching!
@@kalenen what doesn't make sense? It would cost more to install a roof in a 28 ft. bumper pull than what the camper is worth, but it would be cheaper to out a roof in one than what it would cost to go out and buy a new 28 ft bumper pull.
@@kalenen it does, the value of an older coach let's say it's worth $2k this job could cost more, as opposed to purchasing a new coach for $80k.
I don't know where they are located, but most places are charging $120 - $160 an hour. So lets say $140/hr. It looks like there are at least 2 guys working on that RV, so that = $280/hr. We dont know how many hours (days), went into this, but it had to be at least 3 days worth of work, (probablly more like 4 or 5). If it took 3 days x 8hrs a day x $280/hr, thats $6720. 4 days of work would be $8960. Plus the cost of materials, (new plywood, insulation, mold-kill, screws, adhesive, etc.). That could add a couple thousand easy.
Now I'm afraid to do anything to my '94 Tiffin Alegro. Think I'll just drive it to the junk yard!
@@jmsfabrication7821 this video got me thinking the same way, I guess I'll just let it last until it last 😅😅
What brand would you recommend someone to buy?
What brand for what?
If you are referring to a camper RV....they are all the same... literally. Take the decals off and you wouldn't know who is who. Even the construction is the same.
I don't now one.
Why the industry hasn't improved the roof issue is beyond me.😠
How do you clean the backside of the fiberglass to re attach later? What glue do you use to attach the Fiberglass to the new Luan? Thank you!
Yoú can sand it óff if your careful. Any hígh strength contact adhesive should hold it back on. Read adhesive container. Thanks for watching.
@@RVROOFINSTALL Thanks for the info!
Hello, I don't see where you are located please, looking to repair mine. Thanks
We are in Fort Oglethorpe GA just a few minutes south of Chattanooga TN . We did out cards on the videos... The more recent ones anyway. This in e must've slipped by.

@@RVROOFINSTALL oh ok. We are actually going to Tennessee this weekend to rock island in van Buren County, i think we will be an hour away from Chattanooga, i would have to look it up. 2 yrs ago I bought a 2004 thor wanderer hybrid and I truly believe it's worth fixing since I can't just but a new one.
@@rosamartin9201 you're welcome to give us a call and we can help you with pricing and time frames.
What year is this jaco
I'm not sure. Id have to back track the work order.
Do u do class a roofs?mine is fiberglass.2007 national seabreeze lx.
Yes we have done numerous class A roofs. We don't go back with fiberglass. We use the same commercial grade 60 mil thick TPO.
How much a job like that cost
I own a 2005 adventurer timberland that leaked at the awning roof bracket. What is your contact info? I would like to get you to look at it and get an estimate.
Where are you located?
2438 Battle field parkway Ft.oglethorpe,Ga.30742 phone 423-475-7663 thank you
Wow, where are you located? Have a Class A in need of a roof. Great job.
Hello. We are located in Fort Oglethorpe GA just a few miles south from Chattanooga TN.
@@RVROOFINSTALL thank you, I'm in Salisbury NC. You have a great system, very thought out. We have a 2000 Newmar, is that Flex armor worth looking at, we have a shop an hour away. Hoping your were closer. It good to see craftsmen still in exist, God bless you and your business.
@@frankkernan751 Mr. Frank we used to do commercial roofs and commercial coating. The Rv armor is only a coating. If it was worth installing wewould buy the machine, they are always looking for installers. Some of the reasons we do not endorse the system is because 1. it will not elevate the vents and AC like they should e done. 2. What is the roof deck like on your coach? You never now until you get the roofing off. We did a hideout 5th wheel that had a minor antenna leak and if we did not remove the roofing we would never have seen it. The water was still pooling on the top side of the ceiling. Had we not investigated and roofed it the water surely would have soaked through and the customer would be adamant there was a leak. Watch this video we have on our channel. It should answer most of your questions.......czcams.com/video/ibDp8wQ2KM8/video.html
@@RVROOFINSTALL thank you I'll watch it. How far out are you in appointments, and what is the turn around time? Thanks 👍
@@frankkernan751 can you give us all in an our and we can help answer your questions...423-475-7663. It would be much easier that way....and we can go over anything else you may want to have done. Here from you soon.
By the look of this I bet most rvs have water intrusion before they make it to the customer. It’s clear the manufacturer does not care to build a quality product
At 24:30 So by using a mold killer spray like Concurvium, you do not have to replace the black mold affected support system or luan? Thank goodness! Lol
Wet wood will get stained appearing to be molded. If the wood is solid chances are there is no mold. We spray just as a precaution. On this video the rear wall looked well... dirty, but not moldy. You can usually smell mold as well. The front wall needed more attention. We do not want to over exaggerate stains as mold. We also do not want to lean on a customers wallet for something that isn't necessary. If you are not family with mold, how to recognize it or the differences between water stained wood and mold you should do some research in it. We definitely would not close up a coach that had mold and deliver it out.
We don't recommend these videos as DIY videos or tutorials because we don't know your specific conditions and damage and do not want to mislead anyone into proceeding in the wrong direction on any repairs, patches or even caulking and sealing.
There are mold kits available for you to check and also identify mold. Black mold is generally slimy, whatever you may have spraying concrobium on the mold will kill the cells and it is recommended brhar you do so prior to removing any rotted molded wood so if, by chance, there is mold, it will be dead and not airborne. Where glasses, goggles and gloves when. Working with rotted wood to be safe.
So to answer you question, knowing if the wood is stained or molded would determine whether it should be removed and replaced.
Set a piece of wood out in the yard, not in the ground and you will see when it weather's it will stain. Firewood is a good example of weathered wood vs rotted wood. I would also point you to learn more on mold. There are plenty of videos in CZcams.
Thanks for watching.
@@RVROOFINSTALL Can not thank you enough for taking all that time to share knowledge and concerns and cations towards diy endeavors. Thank You :)
@@scottlund4562 it's hard for me to advise because I can't see what anyone has going on. I don't want to mislead someone. I don't want to be responsible for someone not knowing how to do and why to do and things fail. That's why we say these are not DIY videos or tutorials.
Thanks for watching. Maybe you can pick up a tip here and there.
@@RVROOFINSTALL Love your honesty & integrity!!!💜
You guys saved it? What a piece of crap, burn it and scrap the steel out. The work you did is commendable, this guy was Truly Blessed by the Angels!!!
If you only knew how many folks I've said that very same thing...lol. sometimes , if your a camper person, it's better to fix than replace because the next one will need a roof as well.
Thank you for watching!
Sorry, another question...your videos are addicting... the counter flash, is that just the Eternabond 2" you use to fabricate that then use the 4" around each structure?
No....it's all TPO. All welded together, not glued. Then welded to the main roof sheet membrane.
@@RVROOFINSTALL that's right, you said that before that its TPO. I guess I need to read more and figure out the difference between TPO and the products like Eternabond. Thanks again for answering.
@@tomcat5986 eternabond is a brand of roof tape. TPO is a form of roofing membrane, just like PVC or EPDM (rubber). TPO and PVC are weldable. EPDM rubber is not. All are typically glued down. EPDM thinks and us unstructured. Structured membrane has a weave or mesh in the center to add strength to resist branches and hail. EPDM is what I consider a low budget membrane. It literally is the cheapest product on the planet. Most architects will specify EPDM because it is cheap but the fail quickly at protrusions and in bigger projects the lap joints will fail because they are merely glued.
@@RVROOFINSTALL That was an excellent delineation between the different materials, thank you. I love the idea of you making those weldable pieces around the vents using the TPO. I would really like to do that to all 3 of my trailers. What quality TPO brand do you lean towards to do that?
@@tomcat5986 we use Carlisle.
