To make sure you’re ready for potential roof issues, all RV owners should have an RV roof repair toolkit ready any time the RV is in use. Since RVs are often used away from home, you need to keep these items with you on your trips in case something happens while you’re away.
RV Roof Magic Sealant
RV Roof Magic is the only liquid butyl rubber in the world, making it the best roof sealant you can buy. It’s a solvent-based, single-component, moisture cure coating that’s been made specifically for the RV industry.
RV Roof Magic is ready to use and doesn’t require a primer, thinner, or any other additives. Simply clean your roof, mix the product well, and apply.
RV Roof Magic will provide these amazing benefits to your roof:
- Fungicides and mildewcides
- Reflecting coating to reduce cooling cost
- High tensile strength and elongation
- Improved UV-resistance
Butyl MS Caulk
Butyl MS Caulk is a state-of-the-art hybrid polymer made to withstand severe climate, weathering, and environmental conditions. It’s the perfect precision sealer for your RV roof repair.
Use Butyl MS Caulk on expansion joints, seams, vents, and anywhere else you need precision sealing on your RV roof. It can be applied in temperatures as low as 30 degrees, making it a great choice for most camping weather. Plus, it’s paintable, UV stable, and can be applied to wet surfaces.
Seam Tight and Poly Fabric
Seam Tight was designed to go around RV roof vents and air conditioners to reinforce the seams. It is used in conjunction with Poly Fabric to provide a lifetime of protection.
Put Seam Tight evenly along the seam with a paintbrush and then place Poly Fabric over it. The two products will adhere as one. Once it’s set overnight, you can put RV Roof Magic over it and never have to worry about that seam again.
These products are designed to protect against alligatoring and other damaging conditions your roof can experience. Remove all debris from the area before application. Application should be done between 40 and 110 degrees.
Seam Tape
As the name says, Seam Tape is designed to be a quick fix for seam issues on your RV roof. It will reinforce seams, cracks, and penetrations on your roof once applied. It retains its elasticity in extremely low temperatures, is easy to apply, and is compatible with solvent-based and water-based coatings.
