Camper roof sealant

[ClownColor]

Whats a cheap yet effective sealant for an 5th wheel style camper roof? Would the herculiner work? Or do they make an actual product for this?

And what tips would you give someone on how to intall this product of choice?

Thanks,

What type of roof do you have? Metal, rubber? Are you looking just to patch or recoat the whole thing? Most roof sealants are not to cheap FYI.

Are you trying to be preventative or do you have a problem already?

There are specific products for RV roofs based on durability and flexibility. Like leech said, depends on your roof type.

It's a metal roof.

This would be more for prevenative then anything else but it has been sitting up at the cabin for about 4 years under a tree...so there could be damage????

My buddy and I converted an old camper to an ice fishing house. The roof wasn't in great shape, so I went to Menards and they sold me a gallon of sealant that was made for RVs/Campers roofs. It didn't cost much - I think around $10-15 bucks. Of course, that was a year ago and it still hasn't been applied, but that's where I'd start if you're not looking to spend much. Tell them you need a sealer for your camper and they'll point you to it.

How old is it and how much is it worth? If not much go get the cheaper stuff. If it has some resale value in it I guess I would use the little better sealer coating from a camper supply store. But, before you try and add any kind of seal coat on it you need to scrub off all the tree sap or you may as well just throw you seal can in the trash!
