Across all platforms, roof are probably my most talked about subject. Which makes sense because water damage is the number one destroyer of RVs, and the roof is usually where it’s getting in. I’m constantly reminding you guys to check your roof and stressing the importance of keeping up with your seals. Over the past year or so there was in influx of videos circulating “rv hacks” on your roof. These videos showed people using products like Eternabond or “roof tape” being used in place of lap sealant. Some going as far as saying to cover all of your seals on your entire roof with this stuff. These videos included bold claims that this tape was a “forever solution” to roof seals, and I’m here to tell you that simply isn’t true. While the name “Eternabond” may sound like it will last an eternity, that’s far from the truth. While this product is FANTASTIC at patching small boo-boo’s on the roof, it is not a long term solution and more importantly not a substitute for lap sealant on your RV roof. This “RV hack” is not only ineffective, it will actually end up costing you more in the long run. We’re all looking for ways to do things cheaper and easier, but I promise you this hack is neither of those as it will create more work and more repair costs when it inevitably fails. Keep your roof clean, and keep your seals in order, that is the absolute best “roof hack” anyone can do.
