never thought of that...with the wind lift factor I would be a little nervous....what did you use as glue.<br>my roof is metal but will have liquid rubber coating on it

My camper has no roof rack and I was wondering if the benefits of having<br>solar panels on the roof would be worth the effort and drawbacks of more holes in the roof for the mounting of a rack to mount solar.<br><br>I am thinking that whilst driving the truck will be doing the charging, when...

After much deliberation and pondering I decided last night that Fiberglass was the way to go.....Then I woke up this morning, after rehearsing the vertical fiberglass application in my head , changed my mind.<br><br>I separated what areas I could between the roof and the side skin (mostly the...

Wade...that was my first plan however if I remember correctly I was discouraged by some postings I read somewhere, the thought was that fiberglass woouldnt flex or adhere reliably. I think that is what I understood.<br>I might even of posted that plan here sometime back...I love fiberglass and i...

Oh boy the plot thickens <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">...highdesertstanger how would you suggest sealing...as that is my major concern at this point.<br>I have an awning molding strip that was mounted a little lower down the side. I am thinking i can move...

flying kurbmaster...I googled the silcaflex...never heard of it for RV uses....how would it compare to double sided eternabond?? which is what everyone seems to highly recomend.

Willy...printable butyl...is that the roll of tape stuff???

Willy... are you referring to the J type molding? <br>and are you also saying that the butyl would be enough to seal it...nothing over that???<br>thanks

These are some interesting ideas, I may be over thinking this , but the problem I am seeing with using some kind of L shaped flashing or angle is that it too has to be fastened&nbsp; to some thing, the roof metal is very VERY thin and on the top I would have to screw it within an inch of the...

No pics yet...to try and describe it better......where the roof metal overlaps the side by about 1" that over lap is not intact. it is lifting off at an angle in some areas and is generally deformed for most of the length. I have tried forming it back in but as one area is taped in the other...

I am making great progress on my "rebuild' project. however I keep going back and forth on how to proceed with the sealing of my roof edge where it meets the side.<br>This edge is not a smooth intact overlap, there are some areas where the roof metal is not laying totally flat against the side...

Willy...the foam was bonded to the roof...at least what is left of it. half of the right side has been removed.<br>What I have done, is cut slots in the remaining foam and I am running 2x3 across the ceiling 24" apart. they will be supported at the sides.The 2x3's are now just about flush with...

Bodhi....I posted pictures in a few post back under 'progress so far"<br><br>

now thats a basic camper <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">,,,,like it...and it looks like it never leaked....probably better built than the ones today

Willy....congrats on that new (old Alaska)...would love to see inside....<br>I am leaning towards the patch/seal and go.&nbsp; Are you agreeing that the eternabond is the best for patching

I have removed and replace the framing on my side wall from inside..I also removed the skin and redid the entire front overhang framing turned out pretty good and STRONG..unlike the original construction.<br> <br> Now I am faced with a decision on the roof. It is a metal roof, there are no...

I have rebuilt (from inside) the side wall, replacing the crappy 1"x2" with 2"x3"....<br><br><br>I then moved on to the front over hang area. I initially thought I could&nbsp; also get away with replacing the interior framing from inside. This framing appeared to only support the finish...

highdesertranger......Yes there is a possibility that the A/c may go...I havent really tried it yet to see how good it works...no work...no stay.&nbsp; However if it does work that may be the only way I maybe able to sell this thing (if I decide to) over here in Florida.

the more I think about it the less likely it is that I will replace the roof, there is no rafters on this TC. and I cant figure out how it would be supported.<br>The rubber membrane is definitely a possibility, my concern is being able to get the existing metal clean enough to get a good bond...

As all this is new to me...what is the correct way to remove reseal and replacement of the exterior roof to side molding..<br><br>What is the suggested 'seal' under the molding????<br>What type of screws are recommended ...stainless,steel???<br>and when the molding is back on, what sealer should...
