- There is a storm coming and we have a leaking rear window in our motorhome. This is the perfect time for a do it yourself project. We remove the window and use butyl tape to reseal the exterior.

I usually apply the butyl tape to the window first, but that seemed to work too. Nice job!
Next time just put your tape in the fridge for a couple hours and have wet hands while you work with it. Won't stick so bad to you while working with it. Great video
It is also recommended to silicone across the top and down the side a few inches. We re sealed all our windows last year on our 86 Bounder 34'. It has the ripply sides and we used two layers. The factory used some black caulk which would streak down the sides, so the butal caulk was a good fix.
Yes. This.
I would also put some DICOR self leveling compound the entire exterior window
Great job! I’m a Mobile RV Technician and I just stumbled upon your channel! Thanks for sharing!
I never thought of applying the tape to the MH first, and not the window. Well done guys.
Hey guys
great fix on that back emergency exit/window
going to be 50 here today( about time )
be careful and travel safe ,,liked ( thumbs up )
El Niño ready now!!!! Feels so good to fix things yourself.
HI THIS IS WHAT I HAVE SO WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH JUST A LARGE WINDOW IN THE BEDROOM IN MY COTTAGE DESTINATION RV
I hope it helped.
@@outliersoverland YES CHECKED WINDOW SEALED IT UP AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL HOLD!
The butyl tape should go on the window before it is installed, not on the outside of the RV.
Thanks for sharing this tip.
Great video! Well done on the window fix. Best RV road trip vlog ever. Can't wait to start ours in July, you guys are such a great inspiration, thanks!

Awesome! You would totally laugh at the DIY job I did on my back window when it was leaking. You guys did it right ;)
NIce Job! You too are now hired . Really informative and seems easy to do. thanks.
yes...LOL...a mess. thanks. :)
good vid and work I would recommend going ahead and resealing the rest of the windows and doors because from my and other friends experience when one seal goes the rest are not to far from going. it just a lot easier to do when you all ready have all the tools and supply's out and a system down for doing the work .
I totally agree with doing all of them. It's a common repair item and needs to be done regularly. I can't tell you how many windows I have seen with house caulk run around the outside of he window edge hoping to fix the leak. Not going to happen. The whole unit needs to be removed just like you did and new sealant applied. Well done.
Great fix you guys~ well done!
Thanks you I hope I can use this to fix my windows that looks as if someone tried to break in they took the outside rim off.
Hope you get it fixed.
good way to remove old sealer is to sharpen a piece of oak inch wide strip an use to scrape old sealer off.Wood will not scratch paint. Than Goo Be Gone will clean residue. Do clean residube before replacing window.
That was a very good job! We need to do something similar in our camper. There is a window on the sliding side door which lets the rain in. I have some sealant to try! Take care xxx
No I don't, sorry. I must admit I have never heard of it. What is it, and where?
+His & Hers Alaska Wow, that sounds extraordinary! Are you thinking of taking part? If so, get in touch and come and see us. I make an excellent roast chicken with delicious roast potatoes! Laughing Take care xxx
Another great video from you two! I have really been enjoying your videos and am extremely interested in watching your travel experiences on the way up to Alaska. I live in Anchorage and am flying to Spokane toward the end of May to pick up my new (to me) RV and drive it back to Anchorage. Going to spend the summer taking long weekend trips in Alaska and getting to know my RV, then tentatively planning to start snow birding it out of Alaska in the fall of 2017. Anyway, thanks for sharing your videos as they are informative and, who knows, maybe I'll bump into you on the road this summer. Safe travels!
+His & Hers Alaska Yes, it is indeed.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing it.
Good job guys. Good info
Good job, you two ... my windows don't leak, but they seem to rattle/vibrate when driving ... hoping butyl tape resolves that issue ... safe travels!
Good job sealing the window. Could the drip be from condensation with the insulation against the window? And before placing the inside trim, fill the gap with silicone sealant.
I like! Thanks for sharing!
Problem I have on my Forest River 30' toy hauler is on EVERY window the (white looking sealer) has run down out of the window frames up to 10" down from frames from heat in the summer. It came from the factory with this crap.
Wondering if this butal tape has the same flowing from heat issues- or it it the same stuff?
GREAT advise for my restore, THANKS!
dodge sportsman replace rear window
Nice video, thx for sharing.
Great job!
So, did it hold up to El Nino?
Will you find a RV park to ride out the storm?
Good Job
You guys are great. Made me laugh. I just bought MY FIRST EVER CARAVAN TODAY!!! 24foot for £200!It needs to some love and attention...I think the Windows need revealing. Do you guys know anything about retiring the electrics?? Peace out x
The seal has broken between a window in rv. Can this be corrected with new glass it is milky looking
I replace RV windows and foggy windows...the panes can be taken apart remove old butyl clean windows well dry well put new butyl on put back together
well done be safe out there :) subed thumps up
HI THANKS MY BEDROOM WINDOW IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING! I AM ON MY OWN SO I THINK A PLUMBER/WINDOW REPAIRER CAN FIX THIS. i LIVE IN A CEDAR CREEK COTTAGE FROM THE USA IMPORTED INTO NEW ZEALAND BUT THE PROCEDURE WILL BE THE SAME I THINK
Greetings, if your in NZ you'll need to apply the butal tape upside down.. LOL
Goo gone and the some alcohol would work really well next time!
*resealing, not revealing..
