RV rubber roof replacement. Learn what goes into a roof replacement and what you can do to maintain your roof.
My water suddenly is very fizzy and lots of airbubbles with a strange smell not sulfur or rotten egg but it burns the skin on my wife's hands I checked the water at the hydrant and it's perfect no problems
Please help.
We have a tiffin 2005 40' 3 slide out. With aqua hot
Does 50/50 white vinegar hurt any of the system if you don’t want to use chemicals?
@@curtisaitken7027 no. It won’t hurt anything.
@@RV-GUYS thanks for the fast reply. First time camping ever and bought a new to me camper and boy does it stink (hot water heater) needed to escape hurricane. What a way to do a shakedown.
Thanks !
Hello, how are you? I have a camper van, it's small. I don't have a water heater. It's 110 liters, but the water system is smelling bad. What can I do?
Hi. Someone put a harness on that young man. He could slip. Please call Osha.
What are the names of the yellow and red glue?
Yellow is Benders 501 framing glue. The Red is Benders 618
How do you clean a fith wheel camper roof I didn’t think you could walk on them
Most travel trailers and 5th wheels have walk on roofs and some you have to be extremely careful. In either case you generally should try and step where there is a roof truss or brace.
This is great information here. Owing these is a big responsibility too. Sorta dims the Dream we have of go go go and relax at the next KOA site. Tree sap is pretty harsh on things so I'de guess it's sap as where else these get parked , under forrest canopy usually. I bet youre busy all year with amount of these rigs out there now..
Wow I learned how to unbox them!
Holly crap dude!! Terrible camera work! Lol
Try Tilex. Mine has looked that bad and after spraying with Tilex and letting it sit for 30 or so minutes it all looks brand new. All those black spots come off.
Those black spots are algae. Use 2% SH. Aka bleach.
I have a 2021 Jayco Eagle HT not sure of the roof TPO or rubber. How can I tell the difference?
TPO usually has a slight texture to it.
The spots on my roof came off with my power washer. We had some wild fires leave a bunch of junk in the air and I wondered if they were related to that?
Been told by a plastic manufacturer that the spots are the “roots” of the mold or fungus that penetrate the surface to eat the plasticizer (for elasticity) out of the material. It is a big problem in the marine industry and almost impossible to remove. I believe anything strong enough to fix this would damage the surface.
Agreed
OSHA requires that fall protection be provided at elevations of four feet in general industry workplaces. This employee could very easily slip on the wet and surfactant enhanced roof. Fall from this height onto a concrete surface can result in death or paralysis.
lmao
What type of brush are you using on the roof?
A medium bristle wash brush
Each Violation would include climbing up a ladder beyond the limits, no safety harness on lift,eye protection, no fall protection while on the roof and the list goes on
Yes it'll be about $15000 for 1 offense
dots are sap from trees. I never saw you go inside to look 4 leaks. Do you do that and you just didn't film it?
Yes we check for any leaks during the cleaning and protectant application, any small touch ups that are needed we take care of and any major issues get reported back to the customer for authorization to repair/reseal
I'm surprised your employ doesn't have any sort of overhead safety harness on. Could be a little bit of a safety issue there. Just saying.
DAWN soap removes the dark spots....
I tried everything including dawn but had no luck getting those spots off the roof. Even a diluted bleach concoction.
Is this product strictly for rubber roofs or can it be used on TPO etc. ?
We use it on EPDM and TPO. These are the two materials that suffer the most from weathering elements and sun damage/chaulking. We dont use it on PVC roofs. We clean PVC roofs, which is recommended by the manufacture, but have been told not to apply any type of protectant.
Your video gives OSHA everything they need to fine you thousands of dollars and put your whole business under a microscope. Your man should be wearing a harness. Falling from that trailer could be life altering or fatal. I'm not pointing this out to troll you, just looking out for you and your people.

Hi if i'm that drycamper guy how much water does a load use?
We use the Splendide brand washers and they will use 7 1/2 gallons up to 16 gallons per load depending on the wash settings.
What hardness of brush do you recommend? Thx
Too soft and it makes it more difficult to clean. Too stiff and you could risk damage. A medium bristle brush works great
How often should I wash the roof of my new forest river wildwood 40ft. And dies this include the slideouts
Once every other year is a good practice. But they need inspected at least once every year.
Why wouldn't that be done outside wouldn't the dirt spray onto the coaches in the shop awsome job sir.
This roof was done during the winter and it’s too cold to do outside, and yes it can make a bit of a mess in the shop depending on how good the guy is running the hose😆
@@RV-GUYSinstall some curtains
This is why I bought a Tiffin with a fiberglass roof.
How difficult is it to get the run off if any on the second step off the sides of the unit I'm guessing a guy shouldn't do the second step in the direct sun
Yeah. It instructs you not to apply the 2nd step in direct sunlight. We apply it inside and let it dry before we put it outside.
@@RV-GUYS awesome thanks for the tips
They are letting their roofing glue flash off they're pouring it on and rolling the roofing right over it. Don't tell me that's what the glue manufacturer says to do because they don't.Geesh .
dicorproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/BRITEPLY_RETROFIT_install-guide.pdf
GEESH!
@@RV-GUYS I do apologize, that stuff you do as quickly as you can. Everything I've ever seen there's a flash off. So sorry I spouted off.
Having seen the spots from conifer trees - tree sap and such like, I wonder if that could account for the spots on the rubber roof? If you want to remove them and it is pine gum, varasol or turpentine might be a solution. If it is pine gum, you may want to actually leave that on the roof since it won't eat away at the rubber and is waterproof in and of itself.
Just use Dawn dishwashing liquid and wash it down with that that worked for years. I don’t know you’re promoting a scam type of thing that I will not scam but a promo thing that or whatever you call that damn thing down dishwashing liquid has the same that cleans it like crazy.
I love Dawn dish soap.
Where are you guys located?
Tremonton, Utah
@@RV-GUYS thanks. And your business is called RV Guys?
C&R Trailer Sales is the business

Try 30 Second Cleaner to get off the spots.
Try Murphys oil soap on the spots I’ve been able to get them off
Whenever I wash my roof I get kind of stressed out about the stuff running off the roof onto the sides of the RV, because if you let it get a chance to dry onto the sides it can be quite difficult to get off the sides. Because it usually takes some time to clean the entire roof it easy to have wall sections dry with the roof scum on them and you really have to work to get it off. I've even heard some people literally have to buff out the stains to get the walls clean after a roof wash. What has your experience been with this issue. Is one type of wall material better or worse in this regard? Thanks.
We honestly haven’t seen an issue. Yes it’s does generally make the trailer a mess depending on how well the gutter trims are working. But we haven’t found it difficult to clean off on any Filon, gel cote or tin sided surfaces. I’m very careful not the let the second step, the protectant, run down the sides of the trailer, because that to me might be difficult to clean off. It may also depend on what product people are using to clean their roofs? Again we have always used the Camco kit. We also use an auto scrub degreaser and a water wax cleaner when we wash the units after the clean and treat on the roof, which is what we have found works best on cleaning trailer sidewall surfaces. Hopefully this helps.
They are doing this inside a building which definitely gives you time to wash the side walls off without the sun baking it on.
Yeah definitely you almost need a person on the ground also rinsing what you wash off the roof
The one bottle says cleaner and conditioner. The other bottle says protector. But in the video you said that you clean it and condition it but never mentioned putting on the protector.??🤔
Your right. I have always called it clean and condition, but the first step cleans and conditions the roof and the second step is the protectant.
@4:37 in your video you say depending of the length of your trailer is can cost a litte bit more or a bit less................. Why didnt you just say what it cost for the trailer you were working on? That would be more helpful then the standard replay EVERYONE says in any video on You Tube.
We charge $450 for units under 30’ and $560 for units over 30’
That’s including the product
@@RV-GUYS thank you sir I appreciate the info. I am betting everyone will too ........
How do you pressure wash beside other trailers without getting crap all over the other trailers
We don’t use a pressure washer, just a garden hose. Most of the time we are outside, when we have to do it inside we have to be careful. We have a wash crew that cleans any trailer that gets dirty in the process
I've got a norcold 2118 every day I have water standing under the 3 drawers in the bottom , my drain tube is dry, and I've ran a pipe cleaner up It and is not clogged that I can tell it has a bug plug in the end of it. Any ideas you could give me that I haven't tried would help thanks
If there is water inside the refer, the only place it can come from is the condensation off the fins at the top rear of the fridge compartment. I would look at the catch tray located under the fins and make sure it’s slid back all the way and that the drain line is hooked up and clear. You can unhook it from the tray and blow through it. The tray could be cracked?? Or not setting flush against the back of the refer, which would allow the condensation to drip down the back wall of the refer. Hopefully this helps.
@@RV-GUYS just checked that and the hose come lose from the tray thankyou for that! But I did a dollar bill check and the r/h door is not sealing completely but can't find an adjustment on the latch.
Not sure what a dollar bill check is? But as long as the center flap on the LH door is rotating all the way around to flush and that all the seals are touching, it shouldn’t be a problem. There is not and adjustment in the latch. As long as your temps are staying below 40 degrees you should be good
@@RV-GUYS dollar bill check, lay in the door over the seal shut the door and normally their's resistance if seal is tight if you can slide bill side to side with ease there's not a tight seal, my fridge makes a cup of condensation in 8 to 12 hrs so with the bill test I could tell air is getting in, but you figured out why it wasn't get outside lol so I'm 1/2 way there lol
I see no mention of the climate control switch located in the upper right panel on my Domestic Refrigerator.
The switch is in the freezer. Should it be on or off , and why?
Great question. This switch controls a 12v heater that runs around the edge of the door to reduce moisture build up on the seals of the door. It’s really only useful in high humidity environments. It can drain batteries quickly if the unit is not plugged into power. I would always leave it off.
@@RV-GUYS Thank so much! I'm a permanent resident in my 2001 Coachman 5th wheel , use shore power only for everything , so that switch will certainly be off , as it unnecessary. Thing is , I searched everywhere for that info and have never seen it mentioned , even in all the original paperwork .. Following your advice , I did add dual fans to my roof vent , and although I've never had a problem with my reefer , the fans made a bigger difference than I expected. Thank again .
Glad we could help.

Yes, that’s a great suggestion!
Nice job Trent, keep up the good work!
RV GUYS ROCK!
I still remember that sticky feeling walking on a roof that has had the rubber pulled off. Let’s see some more videos. And I expect innuendos in all of the video titles.
Haha. You know it!
